Released in November 2022, the 14 tracks (7 each of traditional and self-penned) all relate in some way to a role or profession. The CD has an accompanying 8 page booklet giving background information about each song. The lyrics to all of the songs will be posted on the website shortly.
The inside of the CD sleeve (far left image) includes a list of some Victorian roles and trades very few of which any longer exist. There are, quite literally, hundreds more that are not included here.
