■ House Dance CD-ROM – Digital book with embedded audio files, by Dan Worrall – (MTCD251). The heyday of the Anglo-German concertina coincided with a time when social dances in houses were all the rage in working class urban and rural areas. 172 archival recordings of 36 early concertina players performing schottisches, polkas, quadrilles, waltzes, barn dances, mazurkas, and varsovianas from Ireland, England, Australia and South Africa, Modern players in the old octave style (with recordings). Includes more than 150 photos and graphics, and more than 200 sound files in MP3 format. £12.00 ■ Harry Langston – Dear Gladys, Dear Gertie... : (MTCD352) – 28 page integral booklet in DVD case, 18 tracks, 74 minutes. Harry Langston has selected his favourite Lancashire dialect poems, written some glorious tunes for them, and sings them superbly. If you like traditional songs, you’ll love these ‘new’ ones you’ve never heard before. Humour, power and passion – just listen to the sound clips in the Booklet Notes. £12.00 ■ Bill Smith – A Country Life : (MTCD351) – 36 page integral booklet in DVD case, 65 tracks, 79 mins. The recordings of Bill Smith were all made by his son, Andrew, over the period 1979 – 1983. They are, most importantly, perhaps the only available example of the completely unmediated repertoire of an ordinary countryman, from the centre of England, in the middle of the 20th century. Andrew wasn’t a song collector, and didn’t choose what to record and what to omit – he just recorded what Bill remembered … songs, recitations, stories, jokes. £12.00 ■ Fred ‘Pip’ Whiting – Old-Time Hornpipes, Polkas And Jigs : (MTCD350) – 16 page integral booklet in DVD case, 42 tracks, 69 mins. A representative selection of fiddle tunes from Fred ‘Pip’ Whiting, of Suffolk. This CD may be seen as a companion- piece to our earlier Stephen Baldwin CD (MTCD334). Keith Summers wrote: Fred Whiting’s exploitation of his exposure to traditional musicians and music outside his immediate milieu made him that rare thing, a modern traditional musician – of the kind which was common in Ireland and Irish communities elsewhere, but almost completely unheard of in England outside the northeast. £12.00 ■ May Bradley – Sweet Swansea : MTCD349 + 24 page integral booklet in DVD case. 36 tracks, 74 minutes. For the first time, the complete recorded repertoire of this great Gypsy singer, as collected by Fred Hamer. Includes Sweet Swansea, Long a-Growing, McCaffery, My Blue Eyed Lover, The Leaves of Life, On Christmas Day, The Outlandish Knight and 19 other songs. An absolute ‘must’ for lovers of English traditional song. £12.00 ■ And Then it Happened! – Ken Langsbury’s Stories : MTCD348 + 24 page integral booklet in DVD case. 17 tracks, 63 minutes. Seventeen of Ken Langsbury’s wonderful and unforgettable stories old and new: Swindle ’em Station; The Fire Brigade; The Man from the BBC; Moreton in Marsh; One Thursday Dinnertime; The Cherry Tree; The Bishop of Worcester and ten others.
