The live setting adds an extra layer of magic to the already spellbinding compositions, creating an intimate atmosphere that feels like you're right there in the audience, swaying along to the music. This album is a must-listen for any fan of folk music, showcasing the timeless talent of Renbourn and his group.

"A Maid In Bremen" is a true testament to the enduring power of live music, proving that even decades later, these songs still have the ability to captivate and enchant.
