Albireo's new CD 'Binary'
« on: November 22, 2017, 02:18:09 PM »

In view of the enthusiatic response on the 'Barham Bay/Down' thread I hope it's OK for me to plug this more widely.

Albireo's second album Binary is now out. It's a double CD with 23 tracks in total. Both are packed full of our favourite tunes drawn from a wealth of sources, all played with freedom and energy. Disc one (tracks 1-11), perhaps unusually for a dance band, is a straight up listening album. Disc two (tracks 12-23) is a dance resource, each track tailored to suit a particular dance or rhythm. Many represent unusual and underperformed material, or have a number of turns through optimised for dance club use, and dance instructions are on our website.

I'm playing D/G, G/C and C/G melodeons, and also anglo concertinas, hammered dulcimer and recorders.

The album is available either as a download or CD from Bandcamp, where you will also find our first album Northern Cross:

Listening now in the office... lovely stuff  (:)

If I didn't have some sort of vertigo ear infection thing going on the urge to dance would be overwhelming.

Binary and Northern Cross arrived this morning, and very fine they are, too. Great tunes, arrangements and playing - lots to enjoy on both discs. Thank you so much!
