Here are some samples from our recent album, Promontory. If you have trouble hearing the samples, you can link over to our page on CD Baby and listen to them there.
A Lorient Sont Arrivés.
A Breton sailor song and An Dro dance. “Long live the sailors, the bonny sailors...”
Barleycorn.
Our retelling of the ancient cycle of death and rebirth as John Barleycorn meets his final fate as a jar of ale. We combine it with the French tune, Dame Lombarde.
Au Caboulot les Gars (To the Pub, Lads).
The life of a sailor at sea is hard. When he gets into port, and the job is done, it’s time to drink, dance, and leave his troubles behind.
The Surefoot Set.
The first tune is a Breton aire. The second is an original Hanter Dro dance by Ian Clemons.
Schottische du Kerbouef / Le Cercerelle.
Two lively dance tunes. The first is traditional and the second is a creation by Ian Clemons.
Montagarde á Fleuret.
Two traditional melodies from the Auvergne region of France, the mountainous home of the Hurdy-Gurdy.
