WGS351CD Track List
Tony Hall is one of the most
respected melodeon players in the country. In fact many think it isn’t possible
to play what he does on the instrument! He is also a master of comic songs, most
of which are set in his native East Anglia. The CD has a fine selection of his
tunes and songs including: 'Enigma of the Southwold Tide' and 'The Haddock Song'
- and his day job? He’s a cartoonist, as you can see by the cover design.

Here Will treats us to (as the sleeve cover describes) - ‘Songs, tunes, clicks and wheezes in the traditional manner’ and the sleeve design is another Tony Hall's creations.
