Description
The craic was good and the scones were flowing. We didn't know when stuff was actually being recorded and who for that matter, if anyone, was on the skype conference call with us!
Well this particular jam is totally improvised and appears warts and all, it's all done through one mic onto Slimmie's iMac G5 and subsequently tarted up by Eltopo. On it you can hear people talking, telphones ringing, Eltopo on guitar, Komrade K on fiddle (except when he stops to check whether it's his phone that's ringing). Listen out for appearances by Slimmie, Rebsie, Epileptic Gibbon, Caroline, Stevel and others (possibly...)
This ain't the best produced track on MJ but it brings the fun and sheer lusty creativity of MJUK 2006 right into your very headphones - sit back and ruddy well enjoy....
Where's Caroline? Oh she's scone to bed!

Eltopo and Komrade K sound GREAT together; guitar and violin are an excellent combination and these musicians show it off well.
Both are very talented players, and komrade k's improvisation is inspired. He gets such a full, lush expressive sound on that wooden box with gut!
Eltopo's rhythmic accompaniment adds the perfect "zest" and underpinning.
Wow, that skype phone kept ringing! Folks from across the world must have wanted to join your little jam.
It's amazing how good this recording sounds with only one mic used.
I've always liked the spontaneous energy of on-the-spot music improvisation. It captures the moment so vividly.
Great fun! Thanks for sharing.
