BORDER DIRECTORS
The Blue Moon Band Laidley Worm Music WORM004
This CD was recorded in 1999, partly by Keith Mills at BBC Radio Newcastle and partly at John’s Dogger Bank Studio. It features a good cross-section of the band’s repertoire of dance sets, tunes and songs. Tracks have been used in BBC and other programmes. It was after the release of this CD that the band name was changed for the new millennium.
