Discographies full details on every record featuring Brook

This label has been established by Real World and WOMAD to release a wide-ranging catalogue of music from the traditional to the very modern from all corners of the world. We have worked hard to build a special place for performance. Whatever the music, whatever the technology, great records come from great performances. I hope you get as much enjoyment from these records as we have had in making them.

-Peter Gabriel
