'This is a terrific collection, funny, moving and exciting by turns, a shoo-in for my end-of-year ‘Best of 2023’ list, and something to file alongside your Alehouse Sessions CDs. Trust me – it’s that good.'

Album information
Enjoy the carefree spirit of London's buzzing nightlife as PRISMA takes us on a trip through the bars and pubs of the capital to explore the British dance music of the seventeenth century.
London 1651: the third year of Civil War. Opera houses and theatres are shut down, but people enjoy a few hours of escape thanks to carefree dancing, cheerful songs and good drinks, living for today and not tomorrow. There’s so much life in the traditional tunes, virtuosic divisions and popular songs that were well-known thanks to the theatres!
This program comprises melodies from the famous collection The English Dancing Master, as well as music from The Division Violin, Scottish and Irish folk tunes, and even some later hits like Danny Boy – all served up in PRISMA’s spontaneous and lively signature style!
