1994 reissue of this early 80s folk nugget.
" Much of this material comes from John Playford’s The Dancing Master of 1651, a source of much inspiration to those playing in the Anglo folk traditions, but somehow the other, diverse material also seems right, perhaps because of the strong vocals, tight harmonies, and unusual combination of woodwinds and strings. The classic themes of British Isles folk music form a core linking the material together. Murder, incest, visits from the beloved dead, a springtime romance, and the fairy folk all appear, surrounded and supported by some really nice instrumentals that evoke a magical gig, perhaps from time gone by."
