Album Notes

Lincolnshire has always been a welcome home for traditional dances.

Many of the tunes on this CD are 200 or more years old and are as good today as they were then. The surviving tune manuscripts show that dance melodies have floated in the county’s air for a long time. During my life time the music has been carried by a large number of working bands, taking music and dance out to communities, weddings and parties every weekend. Stalwarts like The Broadside, Higgledy Piggledy, The Old Parrot Band and Stubble Jumpers to name but a few have continued to keep the music and dance in popular circulation. Playing for dances in the village halls of Lincolnshire has been one of my happiest experiences and I’m proud to follow in the footsteps of all who have gone before me.
