Dedication & Thanks

To everyone that came and played. I asked them because they are some of my dearest and favourite people, many of them influencing this album and me well before the album was even an idea.

Thanks to Nancy Kerr, Becky for always having a place to sleep in, Tony, Thorngumbold for taking time out of her busy schedule, and my family.

All of the tunes on this album are English and represent some of the work being done to revitalise the English fiddle repertoire. Thank you.

[Eliza Carthy]
