notes

Billy Cooper, Walter Bulwer and Daisy Bulwer were active musicians in rural Norfolk for over half a century. These recording, made together with visiting friends in the Bulwer's cottage in the village of Shipdham, capture the style, vitality and robustness of the music they played for dancing in pubs and at Saturday night hops and wedding parties. Earlier editions of "English Country Music" appeared in 1965 and 1976. This third edition is re-mastered and contains new notes and many additional recordings.
Original recordings by Mervyn Plunkett (1959), Paul Carter (1960) and Bill Leader (1962 & 1966), re-mastered by Tony Dixon.
Comes with a 32 page booklet.
