Lusty Broadside Ballads & Playford Dances

Step aside, peasants, because City Waites and Lucie Skeaping are about to take you on a raucous ride through the dank and debauched world of Lusty Broadside Ballads and Playford Dances. This album is like a time machine, catapulting us back to a time when music was as cheeky and irreverent as a pie in the face. From the moment the first note hits your eardrums, you'll be transported to a smoky tavern filled with raucous laughter and clinking tankards. The City Waites bring these centuries-old tunes to life with a gusto that would make even Shakespeare blush. Lucie Skeaping's vocals soar above the clattering of strings and tambourines, adding a touch of elegance to the rough-and-tumble world of renaissance England. Her voice is like honey poured over a pile of half-eaten mutton pies – smooth, sweet, and a little bit sticky. And let's not forget the Playford Dances, those cheeky little numbers that will have even the most stoic of wallflowers tapping their toes. The City Waites and Lucie Skeaping breathe new life into these timeless tunes, turning dusty old melodies into toe-tapping, hip-swaying gems. So grab your tankard, put on your best doublet and hose, and prepare to be whisked away on a rollicking adventure through the bawdy underbelly of Old Blighty. City Waites with Lucie Skeaping have crafted a musical masterpiece that is as timeless as it is toe-tapping. Cheers, you old rascals!
