Sleeve Notes
This is the first record by the Hennessys since they were joined by the well-known singer from Anglesey, Aloma Jones. She brings with her a new dimension, both vocally and with the addition of a new instrument, the harp, to the previous combination of guitar and mandolin. The line-up blends together perfectly to produce on this record a varied harmonious collection of songs which you will find yourself playing over and over again.
Balladeers Notes
After banjoist Paul Powell left the group, Dave and Frank continued for some time as a successful duo and were later joined by Aloma Jones from Anglesey, from the popular Welsh pop duo, Tony ac Aloma. I don't know how long Aloma was a member of the Hennessys, but I believe this is her only recording with the group.
