Sit Down Beside Me
In its inimitable style, Pastance again brings together music from the folk traditions and the early music world.
In its inimitable style, Pastance again brings together music from the folk traditions and the early music world. Played with flair and grace, there are well known songs to sing along with, new compositions for harp by Alex Cronin, hauntingly beautiful Sephardic songs and a couple of up-beat Renaissance dance tunes to get your toes tapping.
The title refers to the chorus from the song "The Next Market Day". It's also an invitation to set aside the pressures and stresses of modern life and be transported by the music.
