The piano player is Ian Wilson.

Thanks Richard, That's interesting - we like Firefox so much better in lots of ways, but it sometimes doesn't play things it ought. Now I'll know what to do in future! Best wishes, Richard.

Beautiful pace and nice gently elastic rhythm. That kind of playing contains a fine balance of movement and gravity, whether imagined or representing the actual motion of dancers.

Hello Richard I've put a smaller file on the same link, [1]http://www.robbpipes.com/WillAtkinson ( a photo of yours truly with Will Joe). I know Will didn't play the pipes but I'm trying to follow the advice of John Doonan (pal of Billy Pigg, Archie Bertram et al.) 36 years ago he heard me play and told me I was a good player but the only way I'd improve was to listen to the all players of Northumbrian music and learn from them. Six months later I met him at one of Archie Bertram's nights near Hepple and could see just what he meant. Trouble is I'm still not there yet - as Jimmy Little says it takes a lang time, a lang, lang time!

Thanks Anthony, and it is indeed fantastic playing, well worth the listen. John Doonan's advice sounds like that of Karen Tweed (the accordian player the rest try to copy). Karen reckons that to play accordian well you listen to excellent playing on flute, fiddle, almost anything other than box, and try to incorporate their characteristic sounds into the accordian, rather than just trying to play good accordian. In her case it's Irish style she starts from, but it concurs with what you say here. Best wishes, Richard. P.S. I'm getting duplicate NSP emails just now - is is something we all get in turn on this list? (Whose turn next?)

Anthony It is a great track. I have been lucky to hear Willy A and Willy T and Jo play and the wonderful rhythm and sheer joy for the music was infectious. I should add that Anthony and Richard Butler were the first tutors that I ever had. Ian Lawther with his enthusiasm and annoying habit of playing any instrument well!! first got me to competitions . But I have been made to feel so welcome by so many people it seems unreasonable to list more . However Colin R, Pauline, Andy, Chris, The Rothbury crew and David B. thank you in this public forum. I would also like the NPS and all those who have organised, and helped me. I have always felt privileged to have access to such generously given advice and guidance.
