Floating Verses

Recycled and Reclaimed verses from the English Tradition

Wild Goose WGS322CD

Out NOW
Wild Goose records.

Some of the songs on this album contain verses recycled from other songs - so-called "floating verses" and when Mary noticed that one of them ("Waly Waly") seems to be all floating verses suddenly we realised we had a name for the album and a theme for the cover.

With:

Dave Holland: fiddle
Gina Holland: recorder
Chris Amos: guitar
