Customer Reviews:

5 out of 5 stars You Will Be Transported.......2006-03-18

This is an amazing achievement, both in composition and ensemble performace. This "Folk Opera" tells a love story within the context of the first fleet to transport English convicts to Auastralia. Although one might easily believe these are actual folk tunes, they are not. Born out of the English folk/rock fusion movement of the 70s (Steeleye Span, Fairport Convention etc.) many wonderful performers collaborated in bringing this to life. Don't miss it.
