Tightly packed in straw and feathers, this record was delivered to High 45s offices on a foggy Mersey night by a bespectacled gent on horseback. Little information has surfaced about the mercurial stranger who made this music. Known only as 'The Minstrel', attempts to discover his origins or even his real name have proved as fruitless as Jesus's fig tree. We are fortunate that this small selection of his music has been preserved for your enjoyment, digitised from the original shellac compounds.
From medieval ballads to fairytales, to turn-of-the-century seaside musichall to more brutal chanson, 'The Minstrel' has it all. Download it HERE.
