Tracklist:

Blackwater Side - classic Anglo-Irish song which includes getting naked Matty Groves - classic Anglo-anywhere song, which includes getting naked Ritchie Storey - little known Scottish song which is fully clothed throughout She Moved Through The Fair - classic fake folk song, fun to ham up. Modal. Twa Corbies - dreech Scots poem set to a Breton air, strictly for the birds Annochie Gordon - great words, guaranteed to clear any pub in eight minutes The Trees They Do Grow High - from the days before the age of consent at 16 Young Waters - nasty Scots king chops head off good looking lad Jack O'Ryan - apprentice Irish fiddler nicks boss's groupie by trick. Familiar? Willie o'Winsbury - Scots king comes out of closet. Can't resist that red silk. Baron o'Brackley - wife shames husband into outnumbered fight... on purpose!
