Availability: from harbourtownrecords.com (not issued yet, out very shortly). Special offer to Mudcatters: I have a handful of CDs left from the original souvenir run of these, made for the Duddon Valley Folk Festival last year as an antidote to foot-and-mouth blues. Take your pick:flasher production values etc, go to Harbourtown, but you might have wait a month or two. Homely insert, but collectors' item, try me with a PM.

English music fans: this is hardcore traditional English tunes.
Celtic music fans: this is hardcore traditional Celtic tunes (Cumbria and Cumberland mean "land of the Celts") People who get bored with traditional tunes with only a couple of songs thrown in: this album is probably not for you.
