SOMETHING TO SHOW   -   is the 5th and latest album from Mick and Pete. It contains a mix of traditional songs, some of Micks own compositions and one song by Graham Moore. Mick is widely accepted as one of the best traditional singers in the country and as you would expect, Pete Harris provides vocal harmonies (plus one solo song) and uses his great talent to provide a rich set of accompaniments on: guitar, bouzouki, mandolin, mandola, whistles and electric bass. However, even Pete cannot play everything and this time they have been joined by guests: Paul Burgess on fiddle,  Paul Sartin on oboe,& Tim van Eyken on Melodeon.

As you may guess, this makes for a varied and striking sound which  provides a wonderful backdrop to the songs.
