Thread Name: Boat Band in Swinton
Subject: RE: Boat Band in Swinton
"This is a brilliant collection of music! Exciting and thoughtfully varied arrangements of a great collection of tunes from the English Lake District. It says so much about the power and lasting value of English dance music that after how ever long people have been playing it and how ever much has been recorded in the last 40 odd years, that in its own straight forward way it still sounds fresh and exciting." (Les in Chorlton in an earlier post)
Ten of us are going from South Manchester, visas permitting. We have heard Watersons and Carthies, Swarb and the bleesed Kate, not to mention Da Dannan at the Lowry in Salford but a night of the Boat Band at the White Lion in Swinton? Got to be a bit special.
