Don't know whether 'Review' is the right prefix.

I got my copy of this yesterday, and I've damn near played it through ! I think I've mentioned training a kiddies' Morris side at the school my grandsons attend. In previous years we have danced

"Jockie to the Fair", Brackley Tradition (with being in Northants) ; but we had to dance it to "Wind the Bobbin" until I was hearing Wind the F*cking Bobbin in me sleep, and heartily pissed off with it.

I looked for access to the traditional tune (and before anyone comments, I don't read music - it is tadpoles on telegraph wires, to me !) and found this CD.

Whether you go Morrising or not, it is phenomenal.

Thank you, Chris.
