Wow.
I actually called a dance in the Spa with a brilliant young band, whose parents have been inspirations to me for many years.
If you get a chance to hear, or better still, dance to 422, grab it.

20 years ago I took part in a Folk Orchestra at Whitby run by Jane Ball. More recently we started playing in sessions largely due to the Folkworks CDs produced by David Oliver (which teach commonly played tunes slowly, then at reasonable speed).

422 has Emily and Sophy Ball fiddling   and Joey Oliver whistling as well as Ian Stephenson (guitar) Sam Pirt (piano accordion).
