I took a risk and bought a compilation CD called "English Folk and Barn Dance" which was looking forlorn in a oft overlooked CD rack ... glad I did and it made up for a solo peformance in Tarrant Langton, Dorset ... Cheezy as some of the songs are (The Linconlshire Poacher/John Peel) as well as the art work the performances are fantastic. The music includes some morris tunes and other instrumentals. Furthermore it is showcases performances by folks mentioned on the Mudcat but not generally available on CD: The Yetties, the Windjammers, The Blackwater Boys, and The English Country Dance Band. Ohh, Aaarh, proper job this one ... Cheers, Brian
