  • Description

    From early 1974, The Old Swan Band brought a new energy to the revival of southern English rural dance music, giving the music (as recalled by musician Dan Quinn) "a good kick up the arse!" Led by Rod and Danny Stradling, and with its roots in the Old Spot Morris, the 'Cotswold Liberation Front', and the influential group 'Oak', the 7-piece Old Swan had a fine repertoire from source musicians such as Oscar Woods, Scan Tester, Jim Small & Bob Cann, and that great facilitator Reg Hall. The word soon spread - throughout the Revival - and OSB's style and influence permeates English country music to this day.
