Tango By Year

Tango By Year, by year

Is this the most widely known English folk song? Three Pressed Men learned their version from a Martin Carthy LP, added a chorus at the suggestion of Dick Brooker, and worked out the harmonies themselves.

Recorded at a concert for the Aston History Group, Oxfordshire, November 2014

Three Pressed Men is a folk song band, playing at folk clubs, festivals, village halls and anywhere else that will have us. Our repertoire is mostly traditional and mostly English, but not entirely. We sing in harmony and accompany ourselves with guitar, melodeons, hammered dulcimer and lots of concertinas!

Traction is a ceilidh and barn dance band composed of Three Pressed Men and a fiddler.
