about

A collection of traditional songs and tunes from Britain and Ireland, using acapplela to a huge range of acoustic instruments in the yuletide spirit.
“a Christmas celebration in fine style, which also celebrates the wonderful carols collected by Ralph Vaughan Williams... There are well-researched sleeve notes and an excellent standard of musicianship throughout. The beautiful arrangements and instrumentation make for a seasonal glow... I can almost smell the mulled wine ! Recommended for Christmas-aholics everywhere.” - Tony Kendall, Living Tradition
“The four people around England's Tim Laycock manage between them to play twenty-five instruments. Sometimes less is more, but the musicians of the New Scorpion Band are in full command of their resources. On this CD we find Christmas and winter songs, quintessentially British. It's simply fantastic, the way in which the band performs the songs and tunes, and in particular, various wind instruments are used to compelling effect. And on top of that there is perfectly blended part-singing, it's a real joy. Absolutely brilliant, this music sounds good even in summer.” - Folker Magazine, Germany
