michael sam wild Posted June 8, 2009 Share Posted June 8, 2009 I have a two cassette set of Viva Voce tapes on Coleman's recordings from the 20s. Unfortunately there are no sleeve notes. Has anyone got one they could photocopy for me? I have been on Alan Ng's Irish Tune info site but the listing is from a CD set and the tunes are not in the same order and there seem to be more on the CDs. Any information welcome Thanks Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any information welcomeThanks Mike From "Dirty Linen #68": By all accounts, the flagship release of the Viva Voce series is the double cassette Michael Coleman 1891-1945 [Viva Voce 004], which contains 40 sides from the great Sligo fiddle master. This release was also expanded by Bradshaw into a set of two CDs, available from Gael-Linn records [Gael-Linn/Viva Voce CEFCD161]. The CD version contains eight more tracks and a more complete bibliography, and the sound on all tracks is differently remastered for digital media. I don't own the cassette, only the CD version, so I can't help much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patrick King Posted June 9, 2009 Share Posted June 9, 2009 I get mixed up when I read/hear the name of Michael Coleman. Because: There's an accordion player just .9KM down the road from here who moved from Scotland last year, and his name is Michael Coleman. Believe it or not: He still has his belongings over in Scotland, after living up here in the bush for around 1 year.\ Cheers, Patrick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any information welcomeThanks Mike Good morning, Michael- I have a copy of the notes you are looking for. They are by Harry Bradshaw. They are in a 5x7 inch format and run to nearly a hundred pages. I have no way to scan or to copy them. If you do, I'd be willing to send them to you to copy and return. I guess the downside of the plan is I am located in the US, so there would be some time lag and some expense but I'm willing if you are. My email is jdouglasrichardson@yahoo.com Regards Jim Richardson Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michael sam wild Posted June 18, 2009 Author Share Posted June 18, 2009 Hi Jim Thanks for your offer. If you mean the booklet, I have it. It is the cassette track list that is missing.
