Andy Cutting
Mojo magazine has called Andy an 'accordion god'. A ground-breaking player he came swiftly to prominence with the innovative Blowzabella and went on to pair up with fiddler, guitarist and singer Chris Wood to create an immensely popular duo. Andy's influences include both Québecois traditional English music. He is one of a number of performers who have brought a new sense of pride in their tradition to the English folk audience. The partnership with Chris Wood is still going strong and besides being a one-time member of Fernhill, Andy is a key member of 1651 and has been an integral part of the touring and recording bands of folk divas Kate Rusby and June Tabor.

Nigel Eaton
Britain's hurdy-gurdy maestro, Nigel originally played piano and cello, moving to the hurdy-gurdy when his father, Christopher Eaton, started to make the instruments in 1981. In 1985 he joined the groups Blowzabella and Ancient Beatbox with whom he has toured extensively in Britain, Europe and South America and recorded six albums. Nigel also appears on numerous records with artists ranging from Robert Plant, Scott Walker and Marc Almond to The Philharmonia and The New London Consort, and soundtracks for films such as Aliens and The Name of the Rose. Nigel took part in a year-long world tour with Robert Plant and Jimmy Page (of Led Zeppelin) and is one half of Whirling Pope Joan with Julie Murphy

'An excellent, wholly instrumental album with both well respected musicians having room in which to showcase their talents to the full, which as most people in the folk world will know, is pretty awesome. A welcome addition to the ever-growing list of successful projects these musicians have been involved with.' - Folk on Tap

Most CDs have been imported from Europe or Asia. They are not all shrink-wrapped, and I am not going to con you by wrapping them here just to make you think they have been sterilized in America. We guarantee that the CDs and the contents are all brand new and in perfect condition. Whenever I can, I use recycled shipping materials. They may not look as pretty on the outside, but they save money and keep the trash dumps a little bit emptier.
