Fiddlesticks

AFO002 (67' 26")

MARTIN TAYLOR has an international reputation as a guitarist and enjoyed an enviable partnership with the late Stephane Grappelli, the jazz violinist, over many years. The Ayrshire Fiddle Orchestra is delighted that Martin found time to share some of his music with them and to record one of his own compositions for this album.

RONDO is an accomplished, informal group of vocalists whose versatility and originality have proved particularly successful. From a variety of backgrounds, mainly within the professions, they sing for enjoyment and relaxation and have the happy ability to share those attributes with their audiences wherever they perform.
