Mr Topsy Turvy Man.

Written and performed by the Rev Rohan K.

Mr Topsy Turvy Man

One for the purists. An unaccompanied medley of original tunes with the drone tuned to the 5 finger "E". This medley was recorded between the soundcheck and a gig one night in Bristol. Recorded by David Francolini at Komplex studios. (It was a rush job with little time but we did it).

Played on a Swedish Sackpipa (Castillo boxwood) made by Seth Hamon, Texas. And a very fine instrument it is too.

Solo Bagpipe Medley On E

A concerto for klezmer band and orchestra, composed by Rohan Kriwaczerk, 2004. Performed by She'Koyokh, and the Wallace Ensemble, conducted by Benjamin Wolf.
