about

This is the long-lost Barnstormer first album, sold out in physical form, essentially the predecessor to 'Restoration Tragedy' although recorded 22 years earlier, my original attempt to combine early music and punk in what we called 'renaissancecore'....

Nine of the fifteen tracks are very much in the same vein as 'Restoration Tragedy' although at that point I hadn't come up with a 'theme' for the album. The title refers to the police over-reaction protests against live animal exports going on outside my front door in the period I was writing it. Crumnhorn, cornamuse, recorders, fiddle a plenty.
