Flibbertigibbet - Whistling Jigs To The Moon

Alison and Dave Williams, the heart of the Mellow Candle Prog Folk band, later settled in South Africa for awhile in the late 70's and made this very rare and obscure album. A contemporary take on traditional tunes, different from their previous band, they produced this embarresment of musical riches. It is pure gold! Studio Album very rare, released only in South Africa [1978].
