In a previous discussion, I said that The Windy Gyle Band's new CD Force 6 was well worth buying. My recommendation was based on a pilot CD that Anthony Robb gave me when he visited the Pipers' Gathering this past summer. I have now received a copy of the final version which includes 13 tracks to the pilot CDs 11 and I would just like to say that it is one of the best compilations I have listened to in a long time. There is a great mixture of old and new played in a style reminiscent of the old recordings of past generations of players; I spent a happy evening listening and re-listening to this disk to discover that I have been playing polkas all wrong for the past 20 years (something that is probably no great surprise to my friends). If a player who has little chance to visit Northumberland but wants to hear some authentic music then this CD should be high on his or her Christmas wish-list!
Thanks for listening, I'll shut up now. Richard -- To get on or off this list see list information at http://www.cs.dartmouth.edu/~wbc/lute-admin/index.html
