All the tunes on this album are to be found in a collection of tune books from North Shropshire. Some are dance tunes, whilst others have military connections from the time of the Napoleonic wars. Very few are found in other sources, and from their titles many appear to be the work of local musicians. Four manuscripts bear the signatures of John Jones (dated 1801), James Blackshaw (1837), Richard Hughes (1823) and Albert John Hughes (undated). Musicians: Neil Brookes: Fiddles, Flute. Tony Weatherall: One-Row and Two-row Melodeons.
