Although Chris Leslie is best known for his fiddle playing in Fairport Convention, these cuts sound nothing like Fairport or any of his other prior musical projects. The album demonstrates Leslie's breadth of musicality, influence and inspiration from across the globe.

Tracks 2 and 6 produced by Simon Mayor. Other tracks produced by Tim Healey.

Recorded by Mark Tucker.
