Just messing about really... Don't expect miracles since I've been playing banjo and mandolin for less than a year and have a pretty basic mic for recording!


Horses Brawl

Messing about with something from Playford. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Playford

Recorded this a while ago when I was still struggling with rubbishy mics.

New New Nothing

Hungarian Folk Dance 
Rob Stott - Melodica, Mandolin, Guitar
Rob Moore - Thunderbucket (Double Bass Banjo)

Hungarian Dance (Thunderbucket Remix)

Remix of earlier version with less silly effects on the mandolin. Traditional eastern European circle dance.

Geamparle

Traditional tune (I think) from the North East of England. Turned out slightly slower than intended and sounding a little more twee then I'd have liked, but I don't think it's too bad.

Hesleyside

Traditional Northumbrian tune. Melodica, mandolin, violin all inexpertly played by me. Several mistakes included at no extra charge.


Bonny at Morn

Festive messing about from the kitchen table

In The Bleak Midwinter

More ham-fisted Christmas noodlings from the Stott kitchen/studio

The Holly & The Ivy

Some songs recorded in my kitchen over the Christmas holidays. Merry Christmas!

In Dulci Jubilo

Most of this is just me messing about with instruments I haven't finished learning yet, recorded on equipment I haven't quite mastered yet. Please be kind enough to overlook dodgy notes and iffy timing.
