Our Take

In what can only be described as a veritable feast for the ears, the OLD SWAN BAND's latest offering, Fortyfivedin, is a delightful romp through the world of traditional British folk music.

From the toe-tapping jig of "The Blackbird" to the haunting melody of "Rochdale Coconut Dance," this album showcases the band's impeccable musicianship and unwavering commitment to preserving the rich musical heritage of the British Isles.

Lead by the charismatic fiddler, John Shepherd, the OLD SWAN BAND effortlessly blend traditional folk tunes with modern sensibilities, creating a sound that is both timeless and fresh.

The album's standout track, "Morris Dancer's Reel," is a rollicking good time, guaranteed to have you dancing around your living room in no time.

With Fortyfivedin, the OLD SWAN BAND proves that they are not just another run-of-the-mill folk ensemble, but a truly exceptional group of musicians at the top of their game. So grab a pint, kick off your shoes, and prepare to be whisked away on a musical journey like no other. Trust us, you won't regret it.
