The Primrose Lass / Four Nighs Drunk at The Session

Brass Monkey played a set of the tunes The Pigeon on the Gate and The Primrose Lass in 2001 on their fourth album Going and Staying. The album’s sleeve notes said:

When Brass Monkey was still the trio of Carthy / Kirkpatrick / Evans, we put this step-dance tune of Scan Tester’s together with an Irish reel that Martin had once sung a song to. Dusted off for the historic moment when, briefly, we had two trombonists in the room at the same time.
