DESCRIPTION: What happens when you set an English Country Dance band loose to do a house concert? In the case of Goldcrest, it’s French
songs, English ballads, and extended versions of Dave’s dance tune compositions. From a jam in the back of a dance tour bus in Scotland, through a round robin tune composition project at camp, to the firefly event when we recorded during the pandemic, we are pleased to present an evening of music and “meet the band.”
