  • Description

    Traditional folk music, songs and stories from England and Ireland recorded by John Howson between 1975 & 2000 In 1993 Veteran produced the first CD of traditional English music and songs called Stepping it Out! (VTC1CD). It included one track from each of the first twenty five cassettes that had been previously produced by the label. When John Howson (the label's producer) was awarded the gold badge of the English Folk Dance and Song Society in 2011 it was suggested a CD compilation be made of his field recordings, which had not yet seen the light of day. So here it is: twenty four tracks of songs, tunes and stories from England and Ireland. It’s a musical journey he made over some twenty five years stretching from East Anglia, through Oxfordshire and the North of England and on to Northern Ireland. There are singers, story tellers, button accordion, melodeon, fiddle and concertina players including a busker playing in a shop door in a bustling Liverpool shopping street and an exhilarating Anglo /Irish collaboration with a Galway fiddler playing for Suffolk stepdancer in a remote rural pub. 60 minutes of previously unheard tracks with a large full colour booklet containing biographies and photographs of the performers and detailed notes about the songs, stories and tunes. Also available VTC1CD STEPPING IT OUT!: TRAD FOLK
