Description
It often comes as a shock to the English to learn that they do have a national musical heritage that rivals those of the Celtic countries, and what shocks them even more is the performing ability of this troupe, made up of youngsters aged between ten and eighteen years.
NYFTE performances are a mixture of traditional material complemented by modern items in keeping with the tradition. Social Dance, Clog and Stepping, Cotswold, Border and North-West Morris, Garland, Rapper and Longsword all feature.
All the dance items are performed to excellent musical accompaniments; whilst musical items in their own right and songs are also vital aspects of our programme. This CD includes examples of the song sets and dance accompaniments.
