Our Take

Ahh, The Oldham Tinkers. A name that conjures up images of quintessential Britishness - flat caps, pints of bitter, and a hearty sing-along in the local pub. Their latest album, "An Introduction To", is a delightful romp through the folk tradition, with a modern twist that is sure to tickle your fancy.

From the moment the first track kicks in, you'll find yourself transported to the rolling green hills of Lancashire, the smell of freshly baked pies wafting through the air. The Tinkers' harmonies are as tight as a ship in a bottle, weaving together tales of love, loss, and plenty of pints down at The Dog and Duck.

The instrumentation on this album is top-notch, with fiddles, accordions, and the occasional penny whistle all coming together to create a rich tapestry of sound. It's impossible not to tap your foot along to the infectious rhythms, or raise a pint in salute to these masters of their craft.

But what really sets The Oldham Tinkers apart is their sense of humor. Tracks like "The Ballad of Tommy Dodd" and "The Black Pudding Polka" are guaranteed to have you chuckling along, as the band spins yarns of everyday life in the North of England.

So grab a pint, settle in by the fire, and let The Oldham Tinkers serenade you with their delightful tunes. "An Introduction To" is a must-listen for any fan of folk music, or anyone in need of a bit of old-fashioned charm. Cheers, lads!
