  • Description

    Fortyfived is a collection of dance tunes having roots in Ireland, America, Scotland, Sweden, Denmark, Quebec, Australia, Germany and of course the band's home country – England. Carefully amassed to celebrate the band's 45th year, it is a collection delivered in the inimitable style that the band has developed over decades of being at the forefront of 'English' folk dance music.

    Over that time we've discovered that some of the 'English' music we play actually comes from somewhere else and conversely, some of the music from elsewhere that we've adopted started out in the publishing houses of London. The oft quoted Music knows no boundaries is a phrase which The Old Swan Band continually abides by.
