Open Stage Compilation #1

Up to 12 performers have come to sing on the Open Stage each Wednesday night since 1982. Many a magical moment has slipped into memory, not hard drive but the rather more ephemeral gray matter. We decided to begin saving those moments. Over a three month period those performers who signed onto the project were recorded each time they went onto the stage. The 15 pieces on this CD were chosen from hundreds representing a spectrum of known and new voices, and instrumentalists. Recorded onto analog tape on a TEAC 144 portastudio, then mixed down onto a two track DAT for CD.

List of tracks (total time: 52:30):

1. "Down In The Dust", Jay Willis, (3:33).
2. "Drawing Down The Moon" (intro: "Dark Island"), Charlie Gardner, (5:39).
3. "Keep The Homefires Burning", sung by Rick Hayes written by his father, (2:44).
4. "Steel Strings", Kevin Cardamore, (2:33).
5. "Driving On", Mike Munnik, (5:32).

Open Stage Complation #2 "The Passion and the Plays"

Dann Webb & I recorded throughout July, August and September. 160 songs were eventually recorded, reviewed and reduced to 15 selections by a team of 13 judges drawn from amongst the regulars.

Celtic Jam Live

The Celtic Jam is really a Session that has been ongoing since 1985 every Monday night at Rasputin's Folk Cafe. For one summer in 2000 we suspended a pressure zone microphone over the group and recorded everything. The musicians soon forgot about the microphone, and this is the result, 16 Sets of mostly traditional tunes.

An hour of instrumental Celtic music.
