Barrie Glenn

Jo Dudding
, forming Flibbertigibbet in a niche folk and traditional circle of immigrant and local musicians, building up a repertoire of tunes and songs both original and traditional. They appeared at evenings held in communal houses, at folk nights and the Boksburg Folk Club. Producer
David Marks
offered to release their album and launch it in a series of concerts at the renowned Market Theatre. They enlisted the help of a number of fine musicians on the recording, namely classical first violinist
Francesco Cignoli
, jazz bassist
Denis Lalouette
,
Nippy Cripwell
on string bass,
Colin Shapiro
on flute, and
Dave Lambert
on fiddle.
