Amongst noted piano accordion players in the world of popular song and dance music there is no face more familiar than that of the much–loved and genial Mick Foster of the world–renowned duo, Foster and Allen.
On The Crooked Road – Mick Foster and Friends, he’s joined by Moyra Fraser (keyboard), Noel Battle (harmonica), Siobhán Ní Chonaráin, and Martin Murphy (drums). This talented musical crew serve up a delightful helping of tasty bits that include reels, jigs, hornpipes, barndances, and slow airs – oh, and a waltz, Mrs Kenny’s.
This music is for sitting back to and enjoying for its own sake, but if there isn’t a musician in the house for the dancers, then The Crooked Road – Mick Foster and Friends will provide what’s needed – and it’ll be “round the house and mind the dresser” for the rest of the evening. Enjoy yourselves.
