We creep furtively across the border once again to present an album from England.
And it's fine country dance for all that. A livelt quintet playing a nice mixed selection - sharing the big popular dances with some less presented gems (on record at least).
Definitely one for country dancers but well worth a listen for accordion fans too.
Have a listen.
