The first land we made was a point called the Dodman Then Rame Head off Plymouth, Start, Portland and Wight We sailed then to Beachy, by Fairlight and Dungeness And then we hove to off the South Foreland Light.

about

This collection contains quite a few old favourites, which, for various reasons, we have not got round to recording before, and also a good number of new titles drawn mainly from our programme "John Barleycorn is Dead”.
“The New Scorpion Band albums always seem brimming with new and exciting ideas. This new album is no exception. The band has a very theatrical approach to its music which can produce spectacular results. This is particularly true as early as the third track, Bridgwater Fair. The band takes a pleasant, simple song and makes full use of their dazzling array of instruments and musicality to create a stunning soundscape of the Fair itself. We are all aware of the distinctive sound of a fairground organ and the band recreates that sound using a maximum of musical and creative ability and a minimum of technical wizardry. The record is worth getting for this one track alone. In the past few years the Scorpions have developed another side to their performance and are now able to perform pieces as a brass ensemble. The brass tracks on this album are very strong and give the record a glorious additional texture. I loved the way the brass gave added poignancy to Ye Tyrants of England... there are so many highlights as to make this an album well worth buying... yet another glorious celebration of traditional British music.” - Eddie Upton - Folk South West
