Rory Gentle

Composed by Kathyn Tickell.

# Posted on March 1st 2003 by dafydd

Kathryn Tickell named this after a friend, *Roly* Gentle.

This tune was composed by Kathryn Tickell in memory of a friend, *Roly* Gentle (not Rory), from Cambridge, and appeared on her first solo LP, "Borderlands" in 1989, in a set with "Stellgreen". It is also on the first Kathryn Tickell Band record (1991), in a set with "Hot Rivets" (Alistair Anderson), "Tartar Frigate" and "Closed Face Reel" – and now on "The Best of Kathryn Tickell"!

It should go at a fairly brisk pace, as I recall. The abc on this page doesn't have the right number of bars in the A music and so it stumbles as it goes into the B. I have done a revised version from it and posted it separately, but for reference (and because thesession doesn't want extra information giving in the headers (not even composer!!!) I am adding it here as well.

"Borderlands"

As Matt Seattle has just reminded me, "Borderlands" was Kathryn's second solo LP. The first was "On Kielderside", released in 1984.
