This is the music of the drowsy slumber at the end of a day of imagined sunshine
over a provincial village green. It is, as the cover suggests, the delight and
half-remembered excitement of bunting strung prettily and the canvas tents hiding
the delights of the fete. It is a melodic re-imagining of a by-gone age, the rose-tinted
sound of perfectly pleasant pop bringing a welcome acoustic folk direction to the many psych-infusions around.
The album costs £5.00 plus postage and packing.
