"Top of the world" - "Last summer, when the people of Britain were discussing leaving the European Union and what this meant, harmonica and melodeon maestro Will Pound travelled across Europe, physically and musically, to explore what it is ... His album (...) comprises tunes from each of the 27 member states, from Finland to Spain, Ireland to Cyprus ... A Dutch sailing song tune floats into a jota, a Spanish dance; a Portuguese murinheira is paired with a Lithuanian polka. He is struck by surprising musical links that span geographical distance - the Slovenian šaltin with the Scottish strathspey ... Pound worked with musicians he met on his travels (...) [and] an ensemble of fine players from the UK with the range to play this variety of music ... This is a heartfelt celebration and a timely reminder of connections that, through traditional music, span the continent of Europe".
