422 - New Numbers

(April 2003)

A very bright and breezy release from this young group with strong Scandinavian and cross-pond influences.

Two fiddles, accordion, guitar, whistles and oboe provide a full sound which translates easily into a more European styling and a strong feeling of authenticity for the numbers from other traditions.

Scandinavian folk swing, flying Shetland reels, an American hornpipe, Canadian and Irish tunes, and a Kuwaiti one!
