1999. Smithsoniam Folkways Recording. With the notable exception of Tom Clough, this CD contains some of the best recorded playing of traditional Northumbrian music.

Track 7 ~ is wrong on this recording and in the accompanying booklet

7.) Dance De Chez Nous / Aunt Mary's Canadian / Neil Taylor's

No, it isn't any of these, and it is only two tunes. The track listing has been corrected so that it will link to the proper transcriptions once they are on site...

7.) March: Captain Norman Orr Ewing / Jig: Redford Cottage

Oops! ~ I wrongly thought this was one I'd contributed. I'll have to see if Colin is about and will make the changes? :-/

Change

Thanks ceolachan, I had a listen and changed the track listing.

Is the information in the linear notes true for the tune title (published on the CD) or for the actual tune played?

# Posted on March 22nd 2007 by Colin E.

The liner notes are mostly about the musicians, and you can hear them on track 7, as well as the setting, but the tune information is incorrect.

The set,

"Dance De Chez Nous" / "Aunt Mary's Canadian Jig" / "Neil Taylor's Jig",

was recorded by "The Shepherds" and is on another recording ~ "Harthope Burn: Music from Northumberland and the Border Country",1983. This is no longer available, and I'm not alone in wishing it were... :-(
