The Bursledon Village Band - Straight From The Fingers

A great selection of dance tunes from The Bursledon Village Band. Most of the tunes are English but there are a few from further afield, all played in the band's distinctive Southern English style, slightly slower than bands from the North of England and with more emphasis on the rhythmic nature of the tunes. Most of the tunes are 32 bars long but there are also a couple of 48 bar tunes, one a polka and the other a reel, which should be useful to callers looking for something other than straight 32 bar tunes. The musicians are Dave Ingledew (melodeon), Joyce Ingledew (fiddle), Mathew Parker (keyboards), Paul Johnson (drums), Graham Pretty (Anglo concertina) and Simon Harmer (tuba, tenor horn).
