Nigel Posted October 10, 2009 Share Posted October 10, 2009 I was playing the Rosbif waltz, as best I could, thinking , what a gorgeous tune it was, especially when played by Rosbif and not me. I had a little hunt on the internet to see if I could find any Rosbif cds. There was a suggestions that the 2 cds were being re-released as a single package. Did this ever happen, and where can I find them? I would love to hear some more French tunes. I really enjoy Nigel Chippendale's petit valse on Anglo International. There seems to be a beautiful melancholy to French music. I brought my concertina into school to play to my class ( now that's a captive audience - listen or it's extra homework!) and one of my boys said, " Can you play any of those sad French songs?" Unfortunately I couldn't. At least it would be sad, but only to someone who enjoys French music. To them it would be heart breaking. "How could you do this to the music I love?" Anyway, Alan if you are out there, did anything happen with the Rosbif cds? Many thanks Nigel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Mansfield Posted October 11, 2009 Share Posted October 11, 2009 Amen to that - my copies of the Rosbif LPs disappeared many years ago and I'd love to replace them. Actually I think my 'copies' were exactly that, cassette copies, so maybe it's about time I actually paid for my own copies Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robert Booth Posted October 11, 2009 Share Posted October 11, 2009 yes, by all means, if there is to be a re-issue of Rosbif recordings, please inform us, as I, among many others would like very much to acquire them. Or Nigel Chippendale and ERIC, too! RB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or Nigel Chippendale and ERIC, too!RB Hi All. Can't speak for the Rosbif LPs (I too would be interested!). As for the Boy band ERIC... We'd justed started planning our first album when Nigel was taken ill, and the nature of his cancer precluded any chance of a Proper recording. The only ERIc stuff that I have are a few Demos, a couple of BBC Sidmouth tracks, and some very dodgy sounding "Back of the Folk Club" type stuff. Colin and I have talked about it over the years, but, in all honesty, I doubt that it would sell!! The total is only about 30 minutes!! Sorry Robert, can't see it happening.

Marien Posted October 12, 2009 Share Posted October 12, 2009 I have the Rosbif recordings not on a single cd but on a single tape... A french tune I have moved on youtube is scottiche a servant I have recordings of 2 events in 2002 and 2003 of a number of french, dutch and german musicians (including me, not on concertina but on bouzouki and fiddle) that played a lot of traditional french and also some jewish music in Chassignolles in an old jewish settlement called "la Rabine" in Auvergne. I am about releasing a CD of them, anyone who is interested, drop me a line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robin Madge Posted October 12, 2009 Share Posted October 12, 2009 Ralph, Are you refering to the "Nigel Chippendale out-takes" which was issued as a cassette, which I have a copy of. I think that you would get some takers if that were released on CD. Robin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, the very same, although in the past year I've found a few more bits on an old demo tape that I have no memory of recording! Not very good quality, but, beggars can't be choosers!! Well thats two of you on board....Only 998 more to go! Seriously, I might consider doing a limited run, if there was more interest than 2 people!! Completely Non profit making. Any pittance I might get would go off to Charity.. No artwork...(A few naff photos is all). Such a shame that we never realised our ideas properly..and he died 23 years ago. I'm just amazed that anyone remembers him! Regards Ralphie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How can anyone forget someone like Nigel? I still have the Wheatstone Anglo which I bought when Nigel was at Hobgoblin, in 1982. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul Scourfield Posted October 13, 2009 Share Posted October 13, 2009 Make that 5. I was only 13 when Nigel died but he made a big impression on me. He used to stay with us when playing at Bracknell Folk Festival, turning up with a car stuffed to the gunnels with the instruments he played! Used to take the time to play tunes with me and my sister, and even wrote me a tune that he played, with an accompaniment for me based on the 4 notes I could play on the fiddle when I was about 8. Only wish I could find the piece of manuscript he wrote it on! Would love a copy of the cassette on CD! Cheers Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LDT Posted October 14, 2009 Share Posted October 14, 2009 I would love to hear some more French tunes. I really enjoy Nigel Chippendale's petit valse on Anglo International. Just went back and listened, as I tend to listen on my mp3 player and so not notice names of tracks or performers. That's one of the tracks that stood out. Nice. I'd be interested too, so that's 6. Only 994 to go. Nigel I'd be interested too - so that's .... Altogether now, in our best Len Goodman voice ... Seven! lol! That made me laugh.

JimLucas Posted October 14, 2009 Share Posted October 14, 2009 Altogether now, in our best Len Goodman voice ... Was gonna respond with, "Len who??", but then I noticed you had provided a link. Now I know why I didn't know, and I'm neither embarrassed nor regretful. But I am yet another who would be interested in the recordings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ralph Jordan Posted October 14, 2009 Share Posted October 14, 2009 Hello everybody peeps! I am genuinely touched by your requests for copies of the Eric tapes... I really didn't think that there would be any interest at all! I don't intend to do a commercial release , but, having said that I'm willing to do a very limited run for you sad people (!!) who remember us!! It'll be nothing posh packaging wise. And I'll get back to you as to cost (5 or 6 pounds ball park figure). Best to send me a contact address/E Mail via personal messages and I'll see what I can do.... Thanks for your kind words Ralph (aka the ERIC massif!!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
