Review by Callum Hogg
A Gorgeous Gallery Of Gallant Inventions by City Waites is an album that showcases the group's talent in bringing traditional English music to life. The album features a collection of songs that are both lively and captivating, with each track displaying the band's skillful musicianship.
From the opening track "The Beggar Boy" to the closing number "The Nobleman's Wedding," A Gorgeous Gallery Of Gallant Inventions takes listeners on a musical journey through the centuries. The album features a range of instruments, including the lute, fiddle, and recorder, which are all played with precision and passion.

With his fa, la, lanctree down dillie,
He fetched his sword and he went to fight
With his fa la lanctre, &c.
As he went over hill and dale
All cloathed in his Coat of Male,
With his fa la lanctre, &c.
A huge great Dragon leapt out of his Den
With his fa la lanctre, &c.
Which had killed the Lord knows how many men
With his fa la lanctre, &c.
But when he saw Sir Eglamore
Good lack had you seen how this Dragon did roare
With his fa la lanctre. &c.
This Dragon he had a plaguy hide
With his fa la lanctre, &c.
Which could both sword and spear abide
With his fa la lanctre, &c.
He could not enter with hacks and cuts
Which vext the Knight to his very hearts blood,
With his fa la lanctre, &c.
But now as the Knight in choler did burn
With his fa la lanctre, &c.
He owed the Dragon a shrew'd good turn
With his fa la lanctre, &c.
In at his mouth the Sword he bent,
The hilt appear'd at his fundament,
With his fa la, &c.
Then the Dragon like a coward began to fly
With his fa la lanctre, &c.
Unto his Den that was hard by
With his fa la lanctre, &c.
And there he laid him down and roar'd
The Knight was vexed for his Sword
With a fa la lanctre, &c.
When all this was done, to the Alehouse he went
With his fa la lanctre, &c.
And by and by his tuppence he spent
With his fa la lanctre, &c.
For he was so hot with tuging with the Dragon
That nothing would quench him but a whole Flagon.
With his fa la lanctre, &c.
Now God preserve our King and Queen,
With his fa la lanctre, &c.
And eke in London may be seen,
with his fa la lanctre, &c.
As many Knights and as many more,
And all so good as Sir Eglamore.
with his fa la langtre down dillie.
