Lively and enjoyable Playford

Although far too early for dancing if you are a War of 1812 / Regency re-enactor [best if your time period is Jacobean to Restoration England]the music is lively, merry, stimulating and just plain fun to listen too. It also has the only version of Mr Beveridge's Maggot [that was played in both the A&E Pride and Prejudice and the Paltrow Emma films]that I've been able to find. I listen to it all the time. Buy it!!

Delightful

Recently I rediscovered some classic 19th century English novels, and their emphasis on country dance music encouraged me to buy this CD. The music is completely delightful. When listening, I feel like I've just stepped into a Jane Austen novel. There is a nice variety of tempos and excellent quality. Even my children pick up my hands and want to dance.

Jolly good time.

Very well done and representative of some early music. Great for living historians looking to get that "period feel" for the music.

Fab for Austen Fans

I bought this for a friend as we are tea party buffs and huge Jane Austen fans. It's great. I'm getting one for myself.

Wonderful music

As another reviewer has mentioned, the tempo is not always optimal for dancing. In addition, some of the tracks seem too short to get a set buzzing. That said, they're a super length for listening...the band is great, and the tune choices are excellent! For those Jane Austen adaptation fans who simply must have their own copy of 'Mr. Beveridge's Maggot,' look no further than this cd!
