"Although far too early for dancing if you are a War of 1812 / Regency re-enactor [best if your time period is Jacobean to Restoration England]the music is lively, merry, stimulating and just plain fun to listen too. It also has the only version of Mr Beveridge's Maggot [that was played in both the A&E Pride and Prejudice and the Paltrow Emma films]that I've been able to find. I listen to it all the time. Buy it!!"
Good for listening, so-so for dancing.

"I lead a local English Country dance group, and we use this CD quite a bit, but just for 3 or 4 of the songs. Some of the cuts are not at a good dancing tempo. For example, "Gathering Peasecods" is way too slow. OK for teaching I guess, but its hard to be light on your feet in slow motion."
Delightful Melodies!

"What a wonderful purchase this was! It offers charming music to any occasion - especially themed parties. It's a sophisticated addition to my CD collection. Superb!"
Jolly good time.

"Very well done and representative of some early music. Great for living historians looking to get that "period feel" for the music."
