Diversions by Gerry Diver, released on Scorching Sun Records in 2002.

"Featuring the recording debut of Lisa Knapp

Early in 2002, Donegal born fiddle player, Gerry Diver began recording his debut album Diversions. Twelve months and ten tracks later it's eclectic and diverse melodies are ready to hit the shelves. Though packed with a variety of guests reflecting Gerry's own personal standing on the music scene he has made his life, this album is most definitely Gerry's own.

A rich musical journey through new arrangements of traditional material, classic English folk song and jazz influenced self compositions, Diversions goes way beyond covering the groundwork in each genre yet never fails to seamlessly pull together into one whole, an album that will undoubtedly stand the test of time and that showcases Gerry's multi instrumentalist talents to the full."

Lisa Knapp's version of the Padstow May Song brings in a chorus of 'the people united may never be defeated' in an echo of the other meaning of May Day.
