专辑简介

Vin had found it necessary to record his previous albums in the south of England namely London and the surrounding counties. He also found himself using London based musicians most of whom had already received recognition in their own right . So it occurred t o Vin that it was about time that he recorded an album on his home ground making it a kind of showcase for the talented musicians to be found in the northeast of England . The CD created a demand for the musicians to perform live so The Vin Garbutt Band took to the road . Sadly the band were not able to sustain the expense of touring together so the fabulous celtic sound that they created can only be experienced on Bandalised. Some of the musicians involved are now in the band Cuig and their web site is linked to Vins.

Vin has used musicians on other recordings but word has it he is to tour with the band used on Bandalised. The band compliments Vin especially well on the Irish jigs, reels and hornpipes which are bound to be the highlight of his live show, allowing him to cut loose on the tin whistle. Vin's song writing has become progressively stronger with each release and so it is here. So another winner from Vin, confirming his stature as one of the country's foremost musicians.
