Description
Mainly traditional tunes arranged in inimitable 'old Swan' style, with a couple penned by band members. Ian Anderson described The Old Swan Band as 'a well oiled machine in more ways than one'. 'Well oiled' must Surely refer to the band's ability to reach deep into the often hidden vein of English dance repertoire and pull out a gem of a tune which will be delivered to the world in distinctive style. This style is typified by driving fiddles and harmonica, fat brass, persistent and inventive percussion, all glued together with rhythmic and sweet piano. Whether applied to a newly researched tune or to an old favourite, the Old Swan sound is unmistakable. Fi Fraser- Fiddle, Paul Burgess - Fiddle, Flos Headford - Fiddle, Jo Freya -Saxes & Whistles, Neil Gledhill - Bass Sax, John Adams - Trombone, Martin Brinsford - Harmonica & Percussion, Heather Horsley - Piano Keyboard. -
