Trotto: Songs and Dances from the Middle Ages to the Present Day https://mainlynorfolk.info/folk/records/trotto.html Found quite an expensive copy in the folk section of a shop with a 'no listens' policy today - it looks intriguing but I don't want to gamble on a duffer, ha ha! I can't seem to find any info/tracks online, but I bow to the skills of more advanced Googlers than I... |

Richard was a fierce Fiddle player (who played a little for my first Morris team in Christchurch). Considering the times - early 70's - they stood out. Tim Radford |

It's a really good variety of material covering a long time span, very well played. If the price you are looking at is not truly outrageous, I think you should make this purchase. You're not likely to be disappointed. John Mazza (NOMADMan) |

Meanwhile, there are many fine recordings of early music available elsewhere for less. How about you? Do you have money to burn? No debt? Retirement fully funded? If the album's ordinary, will you look at it and shrug over the waste of money? "You pays your money and you takes your chances." This sounds like a risky chance. |
