Thanks Derek and David. Just what I was looking for. Plenty of leads to
follow up. By your descriptions I have to say that I am familiar with this
style, and agree with Derek that it is not just a Shetland thing, although
those guys may have been the first to record it in a folk setting. I imagine
it is no more than Big Band players joining in with their folky mates, but
then it developed into the fine guitar style of a Hazel Wrigley. BTW, the
cittern/bazouki style can be traced right back to at least the 17th-century,
possibly even back into the medieval period with the gittern. There aint
nothin new under the sun.
Could someone send me privately the email address or phone number or house
address of Hazel Wrigley ?
Likewise, 'Peerie' Willie Johnston and Jack Evans.
