about

I am putting this album up by request. Some folks have been asking about it.
We recorded this in an afternoon in Blakehurst NSW in November 2010 at Stan Valacos's lovely little studio. I can't remember much about it because it was 13 years ago!! I was out in Australia from Ireland touring.
I am playing original Selmer #861 which was kindly lent to me.
Nigel is playing a Piers Crocker copy.
Daniel is playing the violin that has been in his family for decades and has a history that only he can tell. Stan is playing a French double bass.

We just ripped into and did it in a day.

I hope you like it
cheers, Ian
