Nick Barber Bonny Kate CD

Nick Barber Bonny Kate CD features performances of around half of the traditional tunes collected in Nick Barber's English Choice, providing a companion recording for musicians exploring the repertoire in the book.

Nick Barber performs on D/G Castagnari Marc melodeon, horn and soprano recorder, demonstrating the tunes on a varied selection of instruments. He is joined by his wife Mary Barber on fiddle, with accompaniment from Huw Jones on guitar and mandolin.
