Just in time for Christmas, the entirely non-festive Orange album is now complete and available for download. Here's the link, and here's what you get.

1 Puck's song (Kipling / Bellamy) (2:38)
2 Sir Richard's song (Kipling / Bellamy) (5:13)
3 Frankie's Trade (Kipling / Bellamy) (2:51)
4 Anchor song (Kipling / Bellamy) (1:59)
5 Follow me 'ome (Kipling / Bellamy) (4:42)
6 Ford o' Kabul River (Kipling / Bellamy) (5:59)
7 Poor honest men (Kipling / Bellamy) (3:09)
8 Big steamers (Kipling / Bellamy) (1:48)
9 Roll down to Rio (Kipling / Bellamy) (2:14)
10 Jusqu'à la ceinture (Seeger / Allwright) (album-only download) (3:59)
11 Queen Jane (Child 170) (3:26)
12 Earl Richard (Child 68) (6:07)
13 Rounding the Horn (3:13)
14 Roll down (Peter Bellamy) (3:38)
15 Dogger Bank (2:11)
16 Come down you bunch of roses (2:45)
17 The trees they do grow high (3:16)
18 Four Angels (Kipling / Simpson) (album-only download) (4:19)

All songs traditional except where stated (which is to say, mostly not traditional at all - as you can see, this is my 'Kipling album'). Accompanied mostly on English concertina, with some flute, recorder and drums; a couple of tracks also feature C whistle, zither, improvised percussion and various drones.

Like the other downloads in the series, the Orange album comes with a PDF file containing full lyrics, notes and artwork. And, like the other downloads, it has a minimum price set at a symbolic 52p – although you're welcome to pay more!
