Evolving Tradition 1

From an idea and festival guided by Steve Heap of Sidmouth/Towersey festival fame, this is a 1995 compilation showcasing talented young musicians and singers entering or already established in the folk world at that time.

There’s also an “Evolving Tradition 2” compilation and I notated all tracks (except track 11 from ET1) from both CDs in a book, “Evolving Tradition, Music and Words” in 1996.
