'The Cat's Pyjamas' - Dick Lee, Allan Macdonald, Nigel Richard
Tonight's concert builds on the amazing partnership, originally between Dick Lee and Hamish Moore.Through the 80's and early 90's they enjoyed a ground-breaking saxophone and pipes partnership, entertaining audiences with their innovative mixture of the anarchic and the traditional. This is re-reacted with Dick, and Allan Macdonald on pipes. As a performer on recorders, saxophones and clarinets Dick Lee plays all kinds of music with all kinds of groups, including Swing 2008, Bag o' Cats, Kenny Mathieson's Classic Jazz Orchestra and the Dick Lee Septet. Allan MacDonald was raised in the Gaelic-speaking community of Glenuig in a family that includes two other piping MacDonald brothers: Iain and Dr. Angus. He has been strongly influenced by a wide range of traditional music and plays Scottish smallpipes, Border pipes, whistle, harmonica, and Jews harp. Nigel Richard was originally a folk-blues guitarist in a group he shared with Dick Lee in the 1980s. He moved on to become deeply involved in Scottish traditional music and earned himself an excellent reputation as an accompanist on cittern. For 12 years he has developed links between Indian and Scottish music, and recently formed his band 'India Alba'. The concert starts with a set from 'Blue Monday', over the hill from Tarskavaig - a village with a surplus of musicians!Date: 23/07/08
