Margaret's waltz is a tune of divine beauty, and this great band make the tune more divine than I expected, it Is clear what the beauty of a woman can do in a man, such a feeling... Thanks to the Boys of the Lough, thanks to the Shetlands, to our muses and to the english man that wrote the tune!
I knew them from the very start - and before... as two duos... Made concerts with them and studio recordings - Very nice people and the best musicians...
Bit of a fantasy tale concerning Margaret's Waltz! Pat Shuldham-Shaw wrote it in honour of the accountant for the English Folk Dance and Song Society upon her retirement.

Have you heard the album of Norman & Nancy Blake and Boys of the Lough? It was recorded in Norman and Nancy's house and on the front portch.
