The Slippery Slope

THE SLIPPERY SLOPE was our first proper CD. Recorded by Rod Holt in Otley it does feature some overdubs, and some guest appearances from Steve Fairholme on melodeon, but it sounds pretty much how we sound live (if you allow Derek and Tom to have budda-like arms so they can play two, three or even four instruments at once!). There are 12 tracks, around 55 minutes in all, which are mainly original songs (by Tom and Neil) and traditional tunes (Irish, Scottish and Bluegrass) but there are also some original tunes (by Derek and Tom), and one trad ballad. Released: July 2001 1.    The Humber Horse Marine (Bliss) MP3 SAMPLE 2.    Boat to Burhou / The Casquets Light (Bliss) MP3 SAMPLE 3.    Old Bridge Blues (Trad) 4.    Goodbye to France (Whitaker) 5.    The Cottage in Haley Wood (Magee) / Conemarra Stockings / Swinging on the Gate (Trad) 6.    Torch!
