Great Grandson of Morris On

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Great Grandson of Morris On, produced by Ashley Hutchings, and recorded and released in 2004, is the fourth volume in the series of Morris dance tunes. Spiers and Boden experienced a blaze of publicity shortly after recording their contribution to this album (track 3), which later appeared on the compilation album The Magic of Morris. There are more amateur musicians on this album than on the previous volumes in the series.
