Hear's one you don't hear that often. John has gathered a bunch of excellent trad players for this festival.

As a back line bassist I love the band to sit as it gives me a clear view of the floor should anything be thrown. Dave Moorwood plays great solid rhythm guitar as well as banjo, and what a repertoire of the obscure!!!!! Nice band! More closeups. I would like to see nore hair. Thanks. 5 stars.

Never seen Mike Pointon sitting down playing before, and without a beard as well.
Really great track. Pity the video man wasn't very good. It would have been nice to see Martin Litton on his piano break??

Really good piece John and well driven by the two lead cornets, an unusual combination but great Creole and no stupid stuff going on, which so often kills this piece.. I love it.

Great stuff! Love the two-cornet front line a la King Oliver; Wonderful breaks! The cornetist on the right has a really weird finger position, not that it affects the music at all (I'm a trumpet player so I noticed).

Sorry to disagree but I don't like it.
