The Other Side of the Coin - July 2006

To coincide with the 10th Anniversary Gig we completed our new CD "The Other Side of the Coin".

Featuring Ben Osborne on the Fiddle "The Other Side of the Coin" features seven new original tracks including the "What happened next after Matty Groves" track - "Lord Arlen". Also a rip roaring , red wine induced tale from Steve Sawyer featuring surfing a narrow boat down the Caen Hill flight on the Kennet and Avon Canal (the mind boggles) - "Surfing the Locks". Also featured are three traditional arrangements.
