On 24 February 2014, Riverboat Records celebrates it twenty-fifth anniversary with the release of Riverboat Records: Music From The Source. Since its founding in 1989, the label has supported creative new music from far-flung corners of the globe and has received the 2013 WOMEX Label Award for 'Best Independent World Music Label'.
The release of Riverboat Records: Music From The Sourcealso provides us with the opportunity to thank our supporters, hence the special price!
‘Let your boat of life be light, packed with only what you need - a homely home and simple pleasures, one or two friends, worth the name, someone to love and someone to love you, a cat, a dog, and a pipe or two, enough to eat and enough to wear, and a little more than enough to drink; for thirst is a dangerous thing.’ Jerome K Jerome: Three Men In A Boat
