The Lark Descending / Bushes & Briars. Arranged by Blowzabella. The Lark Descending was originally composed by Paul as a 'rant step' dance and companion to his tune Falco. Here it’s played as a little homage to the great English composer Ralph Vaughan Williams whose interest in English folk song was said to have been sparked by hearing a Mr Potipher sing Bushes and Briars in Essex in 1905. Andy – diatonic button accordion, Dave – violin, Barn – bass, Gregory – hurdy-gurdy, Paul – vocals, Jo – low D whistle, Jon – D whistle.
