  • Description

    Highly acclaimed yet quirky recording of tunes from The English Lake District by The Boat Band. The package contains a 12 page booklet including an in depth article on the life and times of Lakeland fiddler William Irwin. Melodeons, fiddle, guitar and tenor banjo play with the kind of straight-ahead drive that dancers would appreciate, and the rasping, tapping and thudding of possibly home-made percussion adds greatly to the rhythm. Tracks: A Trip to the Lakes / Carlisle Reel, Haul Away The Hawser,Trip To Cartmel / Cumberland Waltz, Kendal Waltz / Robinson's, Honeymoon, A Bonny Lass To Marry Me, The Cumberland / Keswick Bonny Lasses, Stables' Grand, hornpipes / The Birds Upon The Tree / Cumberland Reel, Carlisle Races / Dear Tobacco, Bonny Cumberland, King's No 1, King's No 2 / Stybarrow Crag, Iron Legs, The Calgarth / Corby Castle / Kendal Ghyll, When I Parted, Ulverston Volunteers / Westmorland Waltz / My Love She's But A Lassie Yet, Whitehaven Volunteers, Through The Wood Spinning / A Trip To Galloway.
