Wonderful time I got married that year!! Great music all over the place, a little omission is probably Jan Morks but they could not stand each other (Peter and Jan).

Another fabulous non-American band!
Thank you ulajazz for this, and the Chris Barber recordings.
They got me started and, at 78, I still love playing and listening to them.
AQnd, I am still playing this stuff, on my double bass!
