Heaven Taken by Storm: British Folk Music (1966)
"If you can abide it let the hurdy-gurdy play - Stranger ones have come by here before they flew away" -Robert Hunter (China Doll)* The hurdy-gurdy is often depicted in late Mediaeval/early Renaissance art being played by a skeleton at the side of a dying man. Most famously it can be seen in Pieter Breughel's majestic "Triumph of Death" played by a skeleton watching the enormous rampant destruction of Life by Death passing before his eyes. ---- Note: The Watersons film follows the group on the folk club circuit.
