Historical Footnote

Recorded at Tonstudio Pauler, Nordheim, Germany.

In 1980 or '81 the German company Folk Freak decided to make a follow up to their successful "Folk Friends" album. The idea was to get together a bunch of musicians from different countries and see what happened.

Andy Irvine and myself had known each other for years but never really played much together but after collaborating on a couple of things we felt there was further exploration to be done and this album was the result.
