A vibrant mix of traditional folk, Morris dancing rhythms and silver and brass band sounds.

We Say...
Here’s that Carthy guy again, teaming with concertina player John Kirkpatrick (the two did a late-‘70s stint together in folk-rock band Steeleye Span) and, yes, a horn section — though think Salvation Army more than Muscle Shoals. Brass Monkey came out in the ‘80s with a vibrant mix of traditional folk, Morris dancing rhythms and the silver and brass band sounds associated with the outfits sponsored by worker’s organizations throughout industrial England. This set gathers pretty much all of the combo’s ‘80s recordings (they reunited for several more recent albums) and it’s essential listening, notably for the heads of steam built in the frisky epic "The Maid and the Palmer" and "Jolly Bold Robber" and the sorrowed tones of "Sovay."

They Say...
A CD re-release of all the Brass Monkey material, it's thoroughly indispensible and is the one to buy.
“ The indie iTunes — Hardcore music fans are migrating to eMusic, the iTunes Music Store's cheaper, cooler cousin.”
