Hi all; another Northern CD; Bit on the Side have a CD out called 'Running Through the Heart', and it's available at our gigs or by mail order. A Personal Message on this board will do, or you can go to http://www.myspace.com/bit_on_the_side
where you can hear four tracks (MP3, not CD quality) before you decide. The CD is recorded so that we can reproduce it live, ie no megastar guests or 'wall of sound' overdubs; it sounds like we do if we play a gig at your folk club. A lot of the songs are about work, especially mining, and there is a blend of traditional stuff, contemporary songs and some of our own music. Tracks are;

Black Veins (Rodgers)
Blackleg Miner (Trad)
World Turned Upside Down (Rosselson)
Blind Mary/Planxty Irwin (O'Carolan)
I End Up Drinking Alone (Rodgers)
The Harvest Had Failed (Rodgers)
King of the Faeries/Sally Gardens (Trad)
Keep Your Feet Still Geordie Hinny (Wilson)
Shabby Seaside Towns (Mundy)
Salty Dog Blues (Trad)
I Don't Know Where I'm Going (Rodgers)
Weary Whaling Grounds (Trad)
Buckets of Rain (Dylan)
Willafjord/Pig Ankle Rag (Trad)
Howay the Lads (Rodgers)
Going Home (Rodgers)
Hope to hear from some of you!
Tim from Bit on the Side
