This version of Down by the Riverside was recorded at The Harp Hotel, Albrighton, Shropshire, England on Sunday, August 16th. 2009 by the Old Comrades Jazz Band with Alice Beavan.
The band line-up was Big Eric Dodgson on trombone, Dave Coles on clarinet and sax, Dave Shepherd on cornet, Daves Andrews on drums, Steve Slater on bass, Mike Wall on piano and Griff Lewis on banjo. The ever young Big Eric introduced a really young member of his family, 16 year old Alice Beavan, who captivated the audience with her superb singing of both Careless Love and then this number.
Once again a brilliant gig at the Harp where sessions are held every Sunday lunchtime and Tuesday evening.

@ Jazzclub90, frankly, the solos, clarinet, trumpet and piano are captivating too. I just wished we had this quality of dixieland (which may not be obvious at first) here in the US.
