John Wild Posted May 5, 2016 Share Posted May 5, 2016 Great stuff. However, the first two links are the same and we do not hear Carolan's draught. best wishes, John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robin Harrison Posted May 6, 2016 Share Posted May 6, 2016 Thanks; really enjoyed all the tunes but was transported by the Shepherd's of Yarrow.....lovely duet ! I don't know Caledonian Pocket Companion 1750, with arrangement by Matt Seattle. Is this a published collection ? Thanks Robin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valmai Goodyear Posted May 6, 2016 Author Share Posted May 6, 2016 (edited) Cor, thanks for the kind remarks. The arrangement is published in Matt Seattle's Book 'Scottish Airs for Pairs'. He has also produced 'Airs for Pairs' and 'More Airs for Pairs'. His arrangements are inventive, lively and beautiful. James Oswald's 'Calendonian Pocket Companion' (shouldn't that be Sporran Companion?) isn't in print but there are several downloadable versions on the internet: try http://imslp.org/wiki/The_Caledonian_Pocket_Companion_%28Oswald,_James%29 and https://archive.org/details/caledonianpocket01rugg. Matt is a brilliant Border piper, guitarist and fiddler. He's researched and published several collections of Border music as well as composing his own. His website is http://www.dragonflymusic.co.uk/. Matt is doing an all-day workshop on arranging traditional tunes for any instrument at Lewes Saturday Folk Club on Saturday 2nd. July and performing at the folk club in the evening. Full details, timetable and a booking form are in this link: http://www.lewessaturdayfolkclub.org/LAFC/WS223desc.html.
