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.
