Description
Traditional music from England, Ireland and beyond played on fiddle and anglo concertina with accompaniment by friends and including songs from Bob Davenport.
Roger Digby (anglo concertina) and Liz Giddings (fiddle) are both known for their commitment to traditional English dance music. Roger goes back to the earliest days of Flowers and Frolics in the mid-1970s; Liz, a generation younger, currently plays in the English String Band alongside some of the best fiddle players in the country.
On their first CD together, 'The Passing Moment', they bring their passion, talent and distinctive accuracy to a wider range of traditional music with tunes from Ireland, Scotland and Newfoundland as well as England all presented with drive and lively excitement. On many tracks they are joined by a rhythm section which is comprised of various combinations of banjo, piano, bass and percussion and features such experienced musicians in the field as Ken and Susan Lees and Ted Stevens.
A further guest artist is Bob Davenport, one of the country's most respected and loved traditional singers, now in his 82nd year. Bob sings Frank Quinn's 'The Old Mill Stream', Graves' setting of W.B.Yeats 'Down by the Sally Gardens', the traditional 'Tramps and Hawkers', and also creates a wonderful new interpretation of Richard Thompson's 'The Old Changing Way'.
This CD will delight lovers of real traditional music.
