NANTWICH FAIR
Traditional Cheshire tunes
THE WELSH ROW BAND

This is actually a Boat Band recording, but made domestically with very low production values as a teaching aid/memory-jogger for sale at the workshops we do on local traditional music. Welsh Row is a street in Nantwich with a lot of pubs on it: no reference is intended to the noise made by our musicianly neighbours in Sheep Country a few miles west.

1: Lyme Park/Slip it in Easy(jigs)
2: The Sultan's Polka
3: Knutsford Races(schottische)
4: Stoke Hornpipe
5: Nantwich Fair/ Oats and Beans(jigs)
6: Chster Races (reel)
7: Roger de Coverley (9/8 hornpipe or slip-jig)
8: George King's Hornpipe (3/2 hornpipe)
9: Chester Hornpipe/ Chester Castle
10: An English Set of the Broom (air)
11: Apple Pie(processional tune)

Bear in mind this is a teaching aid,made without benefit of decent mikes, rehearsal etc. Punky cut-and-pritstick photocopied insert on cheapo paper. If you're still interested,PM me (or email boatband(at)cwctv(dot)net. Cost you £6. A lot of people actually rather like this record!.
