[NSP] Rothbury recordings circa 1990
Hellos apiece There has already been interest shown in this especially, as one piper put it, they didn't have the opportunity to hear Joe Hutton play live. The session as I've already mentioned has a huge number of people involved - the queue for the pub to open started at 11 am and stretched around the corner towards the Spar shop by the time it did at 12! Joe can certainly be heard but there's quite a lot happening. The stromash from the night before at The Mart features Joe more prominently - there were only about 15 of us. So give me a week or so and I'll edit these tracks down as well. If you do want a copy I don't want any money at all but you may wish to give a fiver to the Comic Relief Kilimanjaro crew to buy mosquito nets in Africa. Simply text Yes to 66609 and A-L-5 will go to this cause. Not compulsory! See [1]http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/b00j6ltk/Kilimanjaro_The_Big_Re d_Nose_Climb/ (4 days left to view) It would be helpful if people gave their actual addresses as then I can simply copy and paste them onto a label. That way we'll know there'll be no mistakes! Please remember the recording is probably a 5/10 for sound quality but it's good stuff, raw, lively and very musical!

Thank you so much for these super recordings Chris. It's easy, with all the antagonism that turns up on this forum, to forget that most folks who play the Northumbrian Pipes are friendly, and generous with their expertise and talents. Good website too. Out of interest, how did you make the recordings, and what mikes do you use? all the best, Paul Date: Sun, 15 Mar 2009 12:28:27 + To: nsp@cs.dartmouth.edu From: ch...@chrisormston.com Subject: [NSP] The Lost Music of Newsham Hi All, In the new-found spirit of altruism on this list, and for those of you who've not already had a bootleg copy, I've uploaded some tracks of tunes from the Clough MS here: [1]http://chrisormston.com/clough.aspx Chris Ormston chrisormston.com borderdirectors.com -- References 1. http://chrisormston.com/clough.aspx To get on or off this list see list information at http://www.cs.dartmouth.edu/~wbc/lute-admin/index.html __ Beyond Hotmail see what else you can do with Windows Live.

The recordings were made in 1987 as part of a plan to release an album of the Clough MS. The album never appeared for reasons I cannot disclose without creating more antagonism, unfortunately! They were recorded on old-fashioned reel-to-reel tape, and were never fully completed, but I've tidied them up as best as I can. Glad you enjoy them!

Great stuff Chris! I've your prize winning duet set (with Cathy Goss) from the same Rothbury bash. Do I have your permission to include it in my walk down memory lane? As for your recordings; there's a familiar air about these and if I'm correct they were very probably recorded with AKG 451s. The people involved at the time (If the cider manufacturer has anything to do with it) swore by AKG 414s for vocals and 451s for instruments. The ideal mics for pipes have as flat a frequency response as possible. Bruel Kaejer 406s were unbeatable in this respect but they cost 5 times as much marginal improvement offered. These days many professional engineers go for sE electronics. They are made to the highest standards in China. The sE 4 has wowed the pros as a little stunner costing just under A-L-250 (about the same as a 451). The sE 4400a has an even flatter response but these are A-L-850 for a matched pair. If money's no object go for Schoeps at about A-L-1500 apiece. (specs very similar to 4400a!)
