English Fiddle Players

LP 12" Plant Life Records (PLSR 077)

The English Fiddle Players presents a cross-section of the many fiddle players to be found playing in pub session and country dance bands all over the country. The five players here are all largely self-taught, each has developed a personal approach and an invidual style of playing that is a part of the domestic fiddle playing tradition rather then the world of the formally trained violinist. This album is produced and recorded by Paul James and Charles Gray, mastered at CTS by Mike Brown. Artwork, Design: Janina Lech. Line up: Paul Burgess, Flos Headford, Alan Lamb, Howard Salt, Dave Shperd. Additional musician: Ian Luff (cittern).
