FIRST HEARING:
Very colourful presentation and notes and I get the feeling that this first couple of tunes mght be lulling me into a false sense of security.
I think I might well get mugged before the end. There is a healthy cast here and if they all come steaming it it might make one hell of noise (in the way the La Bottine Souriante made a noise!).
Obviously sterling playing, lots of clever touches and another wee push on the borders of traditional music.
