Kirkpatrick, John - Carolling & Crumpets
SKU
05-FLED3060
Accordion master Kirkpatrick is one of the greats of modern British music. I saw him in Richard Thompson's band and even though he was in the company of one of the OTHER greats of modern British music, he dazzled with inventive solo after inventive solo. This is one of the few Christmas albums I would ever care to own.
"A remarkable journey through the English Midwinter in music and song. The customs and traditions of England at Midwinter yield a breathtaking array of dazzling riches. Accordion maestro John Kirkpatrick takes the listener through tunes celebrating Midwinter dance, rhymes of hope and luck-bringing, songs in honour of food and seasonal merriment and an original song all about the Nativity from the on-looking creatures viewpoint."
John Kirkpatrick - voice, button accordion, anglo concertinas and two-row melodeon
