The South Wind

Traditional English country dance music: instrumental, melodeons, fiddle, Anglo concertinas, keyboard, drums and percussion, Eb tuba, Eb tenor horn.

Once described as the best kept secret on the English Folk dance scene, the Bursledon Village Band look set to become widely admired following the release of this album. Although the tunes have their origins all over the British Isles their chunky English sound gives all the tunes the distinctive stamp of Southern England in general and of Bursledon in particular – largely due to the influence of such seminal traditional musicians as Scan Tester. Dave Ingledew – Melodeons, Joyce Ingledew – Fiddle, Graham Pretty – Anglo Concertinas, Matthew Parker – Keyboard, Simon Harmer – Eb Tuba and Eb Tenor Horn Paul Johnson – Drums and percussion.
