Recordings
We have recorded two full-length CDs which can be ordered from us directly. Here's what they said about the second one ("World Tour"):
"a superb collection of global melodies and rhythms ... highly recommended ... the blend of accordion and mandolin works very well indeed" (Accordion Pro)
"clever stuff" (Accordion World)
"tasty arrangements" (Accordion Today)
They were both recorded at Meadowside Studios near Wisbech and engineered by Ricko Burrows (highly recommended if you want high quality recording and a sympathetic engineer for a very affordable price - find him at www.thesoundguy.co.uk.
