Description

A set of four tunes performed by Relig Oran: Urra Moor by Andy Renshaw; The Leckie and Reel CJ by myself and Willafjord, a traditional tune which may be either Norwegian or Shetland Islands in origin.

Urra Moor and The Leckie are about places that are special to Andy and me respectively. The Reel CJ is an extension of a phrase I used in my first ever MacJams collaboration (with CJ Hoose ) entitled The Dance of the Jealous Pagan .

Musicians:

Andy Renshaw - Kalimba & Bodhran
Jem Scott - Bousouki
Me - fiddle

	Very Nice...... A reel that in the slower parts has some Oriental scales for flavour... Or very similar in tone, it truly gives it a very distinctive sound..... Well done..... Check out my latest song called Call To Arms...

	Agree I get that Oriental vibe too in the first tune - thanks for listening. KK Check out my latest song called Urra Moor/The Leckie/Reel CJ/Willafjord

Sounds great, Martyn....
Dug out the best headphones this afternoon, and this sounds perfect over them...Nicely simple stereo spread....I think you captured each instrument's sound with clarity and body...The tunes themselves are great listens, and I'm gratefully downloading them in the direction of the iPods...

Check out my latest song called Uno/I Like The Way... (with Macaudion, SISTERS, ktb, and ziti)

	Moor Leckie Simply beautiful. That's all I can say about this. Check out my latest song called To Be Sensitive (with Mind Map That)

	great pacing from beginning to end What an unusual combination - fiddle and Kalimba - beautiful! Your fiddle sounds particularly nice on this track, the solo is a nice touch. And then comes the drum! Great post. On so many levels. Check out my latest song called Tosh Frenzy

Komrade K	Komrade K said 764 days ago (April 23rd, 2011)
	Fiddle and Kalimba I like that combination as well - Andy also does some very clever stuff on the Bodhran (drum) but it's difficult to record effectively. KK Check out my latest song called Urra Moor/The Leckie/Reel CJ/Willafjord

	Thank you! I just use a normal bow but perhaps I should try a deep bow for added oomph :) Check out my latest song called Urra Moor/The Leckie/Reel CJ/Willafjord

	Nice! Love the sound of your acoustic violin! Wonder performance here. Bravo! On the last tune, was the melody vaguely reminiscent of "Raggle Taggle Gypsie"? Better put those strings on ice, cause they are smokin' by the end. ;) Check out my latest song called Into Darkness We Boldly Go

	Enjoy the industrial feel to the acoustic guitar, plus the fiddle sound fits right in with it. Nice celtic feel indeed. Enjoy the bell sounds as well, kind of a chinese feel to it as well. Nice folk feel indeed. Riverdance with other influence. Again, like that guitar with it's terrific industrial open tuning feel. Nice fiddle!!! Check out my latest song called He'll Have To Go
