Jon Swayne plays border pipes in various keys. Becky Price's accordion is versatile and seductive. They explore English music, especially from 17th and 18th century sources, with some tunes from the Border Bagpipe repertoire; to it they add some of their own strong, engaging and beautiful compositions.
