From Hamish Davidson: "Andrew is an extremely creative individual, and is always spontaneous, especially in live performances. His shows feature anything from traditional Indian 'standards,' or ragas, to hard driving 'thrash-grass.' On his latest album, "Dance of the Good Life" (2000), he recorded a tune titled Three Mandolins, where he plays in 3 time signatures at once. This is the type of thing you can imagine Thelonious Monk doing. Nevertheless, the result (in stereo!) creates a sensation of being inside a washing machine. This effect was very hard to recreate in MIDI, partly because there is no 'mandolin' tone available. To make the MIDI file more interesting, I have added a bass line which is not included on the recording. If you want to experience this trippy sensation first hand, you'll just have to buy the album." |

PLUS the original Compilation CD FORTE of Australian Fiddlers from the GOLDEN FIDDLE AWARDS
|
An album of strung-out mayhem featuring Four Play, Marcy Taylor, CODA, Fiddlers Feast, Cin Cin, Mykl Lozin, Dirty Lucy and more. Hey diddle diddle - these folks can sure play the fiddle! The violin or fiddle has a lengthy relationship with Australian music. I'm not sure if the versatile stringed instrument journeyed on the First Fleet but I'd take a healthy wager that one of the officers or crew had had one at the ready, for fiddle music was intrinsically linked to seafaring music. There was definitely an early convict, John Ayres, who had a passion for music since this shoemaker was transported to Botany Bay in 1794 for stealing 'musical instruments to the value of fifty shillings'. Captain Bligh, later to be Governor of New South Wales, reputedly instructed the fiddler on the 'HMAS Bounty' to play for his daily callisthenic’s exercise program! Whatever the case the violin appeared early enough to be mentioned in early broadsides, newspapers and memories. It fiddled in the convict quarters with jigs and reels to remind of better times and separated love; it heralded the gold rush era when thousands traveled the bush in search of the elusive metal, and were soothed at night by its melancholy airs; it was also there in the shearing stations and drover's camps. It was also in grander environments including Government receptions, military march-pasts and in polite squatter's homes where young ladies were encouraged to play sonatas and parlor songs. It also traveled into the twentieth century joining country crooners, orchestras, radio quartets, jazz dance bands and, later, even rock bands. The second half of that century saw the older styles revived as we re-discovered our traditional music, especially the music of our rich Anglo Celtic heritage. Released in conjunction with the Golden Fiddle Awards, the first awards which focus on nurturing, supporting and rewarding the wealth of violin playing, performing and composing talent in Australian and New Zealand, each and every particpant on this unique and entertaining collection belongs to a select group with acknowledged credentials. There's the new generation fiddling as displayed by Migel MacLean, Peter O'Shea and the 'family' bands of The Bostocks and the Davidson Brothers. Jenny Thomas breathes new life into a fiddle-centric version of 'Waltzing Matilda' and Ian Cooper makes his 'Brazil' really swing. Original compositions are also featured, especially with the music of Sean O'Boyle, Marcela Taylor (nominated for this year's CMAA Golden Guitar Instrumental of the Year) anMykl Lozin. There are some wonderful ensemble tracks too where the fiddle jumps out and dances - Four Play, Cin Cin, CODA, Dirty Lucy and of course, Rouseabout's Fiddlers Feast.

78min of our most classic mid-year concert to
date.
Featuring Dheeraj Shrestra (Dya Singh Group), The Lawnmowers, Mark Atkins
(Didgeridoo at the Athens Games), with Parris & PuYu Macleod.
At last, after 5 years and more of gathering performers under the guise
of "AC's Supper Club", we have it's first bold CD release (or more
specifically an official, by chance, 'bootleg'!).
The nights have been a kind of 'Fringe Club' to the Tamworth CM
Festival. A place where musicians like Oscar Awarded Sophie Raymond, Paul Wookey,
Peter Horan, Willie Qua (Galapagos Duck), George Washingmachine, Women in Docs,
Elizabeth Lord, Pat Drummond, Michael Fix, Sam McNally can relax or send other
players teetering on their guard rails of safety. Those who enjoy the taste of
fear (er.. flight!) as the music soars around them into unpredictable paths &
flavours have been gathering - up to 70 through the 15 shows in the week.
Now since 2002, there have been some mid year concerts to keep the
flame burning. These have leaned into more worldly zones with guests from Tibet,
Taiwan and Nepal as well as appearing at numerous schools & venues in the
700squarekm area of Tamworth, Armidale & Barraba.
October 2003 saw Andrew joining Dheeraj Shrestra (Tabla drums from
Dya Singh Group), Mark Atkins (Didg at Athens Games), Parris & PuYu Macleod
(perenial favourites on Piano & Flute) plus The Lawnmowers (see below) with local
drum whizz, Randall Wilson in a veritable 'quilt of expression'. The capture
is fresh, bold and soars as far as we've ever managed to go.
Mind you we can't call it squeaky clean, but there was just too much
fun to hide it away. 78mins of both kinds of music - Real & UnReal!

This album combines the different worlds of Australian Didgeridoo, European Strings and
Afro-American influenced Percussion in a completely improvised exploration of the spirit of nature.
The spontaneous flow of music takes the listener on a journey through a collection of aural landscapes,
each featuring a unique combination of melody, rhythm and emotion.
Each journey is separated by a solo didgeridoo interlude which acts as a narration of the following soundscape.

In those times I had taken to writing a Xmas wRap - stories and the odd detail -
covering the year's mischief and wanderings. Before you is a slice across that past decade or more.
A rememberance of journeys, places, people met, families extended and the music
which gathered it together or set it apart.
Beyond my guitar, mandolin, fiddle or vocals you'll hear "me mates" cut loose in their own style.Steve Berry/ Trev Warner/ Jim Conway/ Paul Robert Burton/ Steve Gilbert/ Garry Steel/ Beccy Cole/ Liz Frencham/ Wendy M Jackson

For some it was a case of bringing the mountain to Muhammad. Two large reels of 2" 24 track tape, did the lap of Adelaide,
Melbourne and Sydney ABCs twice before the contributions from friends drew to a close.
Well it had to stop sometime in the two and a half years since Richard Porteous first approached me
at Tamworth's Longyard Hotel. He'd said, "its time to record . . ."

Fiddlers Festival Live (1997)
The Shortest, Fattest, Thinnest, Tallest 4 Fiddlers together for a photo shoot re a Red Faces entry

Japan and who knows when where else. But they always start the year at Tamworth Country Music Festival
where you'll see Clermont still joining Marcus Holden, Clare O'Meara, Mark Oats, Gary Steel and beyond.
This CD has most of the original line up with Clermont behind the scenes playing much of the Bass as well.
