A multi-cast tribute gathered together by Niamh to play the music of and from 'Cuz'.
A good strong recording with very fine players is the most some composers might expect but here the folks are playing with a level of respect that makes it all the bit extra special and the compositions come across with drive, affection and humour.
Very valid booklet notes too,
Well worth a listen.
