Birchgrove Road

by Ali Jones

This is a gentle tune – so many happy memories of childhood holidays spent in my beloved Grampa’s house in Birchgrove, Swansea.

Alison Jones has played fiddle for many bands including The Barely Works. Swansea born, Alison now lives in Exeter where she plays with Spin 2, teaches fiddle and leads a large community band, Newtown roots band, for which she creates fun and interesting arrangements. Writing tunes is an ongoing passion for Alison and she loves how a tune takes on a life of its own when it is played by others.
