The Warleggan Assembly: A Collection of Regency Country Dances
The Warleggan Village Band was first convened in 2014 to play for the dance sequences in BBC TV’s Poldark. They play English country-dance music from the 17th and 18th centuries. This CD contains a recording of all the dances included in The Warleggan Assembly collection, researched by Matthew Coatsworth with dances interpreted by Georgia Delve.
