Of Riots and Rabbits
SHMCD02 2008
Our second CD was released in 208. As well
as Liz and Terry, the CD features Kathryn Tickell, who plays on four
tracks. She
plays
Northumbrian
pipes on "Hobie Noble" and "Baron of Brackley", fiddle
on "The Hexham Riot" and both fiddle and pipes on "Midsummer
Blue".
Julie-Ann Morrison, formerly Julie-Ann Kay of "Lucky Bags" joins
us on nine tracks playing harp and adding chorus harmonies.
The CD has
the same mix of traditional and self-penned songs as "Premier" -
there are seven songs by Terry, one by Terry and Liz, and six traditional
songs. We know the author for only one of these - George Chatt wrote "Bonny
Tyneside" in the second half of the 19th Century.
The title of
the CD refers to two of the tracks. The Riot is the Hexham Riot of
1761, when 51 people were killed in Hexham Market Square. Terry
wrote the song assisted by Liz, who, knowing less about the subject,
brought a fresh eye to the story. The Rabbit was a pet belonging to the
son of two of Terry's friends. He asked Terry to write a song about his
rabbit. "The Saga of Timothy Rabbit" is proving to be one of
the most popular songs of the collection.
