A Hawk And A Hacksaw & The Hun Hangar Ensemble. Well if there was a prize for an ensemble with the most hs' then AHAAH & THHE have won hands down. Much excitement at the arrival of this new CD and a string of gigs to promote it from the solo/duo/collective augmented by a real life trad folk ensemble from Hungaria. Covering adaptations of traditional Hungarian, Croatian, Romania and Klezmer folksongs. The current tour includes all the players on this set, so I think you're in for a treat if you like your trad/historic folk played with such ease and grace. Better still if you know the dances that go with the tunes then you'll have a right knees up (Party)

Love this record? Hate it? Tell us.

What their label says...

Superb 8-track audio CD and short film DVD package at a special price, released to coincide with European tour dates, including a high-profile UK tour promoted by CMN in May
Strictly limited edition of 4,000 individually numbered copies for the world in deluxe gatefold card packaging
The EP includes the first recordings by AHAAH and The Hun Hangár Ensemble, a group of extraordinarily talented Hungarian folk musicians, brought together with the help of influential Budapest music centre Fonó
The songs, both traditional (Hungarian, Romanian, Serbian and klezmer) and AHAAH originals, were chosen by AHAAH’s Jeremy Barnes to highlight the individual skills of each of the six musicians
The 20-minute bonus DVD, ‘An Introduction To A Hawk And A Hacksaw’, documents the last two years of travelling and performing throughout Europe and the United States for the original duo of Jeremy and Heather Trost
The EP follows the highly acclaimed The Way The Wind Blows album from late 2006, their most successful yet, and is a precursor for AHAAH’s fourth album, currently penciled for release later this year
The duo have recently toured with Beirut, Calexico and Of Montreal, among others, and have a hectic schedule of club shows and festival appearances lined up for the rest of 2007
