| CLOUDSTREET - The Fiddleship CDST03 | ||||
|
Cloudstreet are
Australian duo Nicole Murray and John Thompson (A "cloudstreet" is a row
of thermals marked by cumullus clouds. When gliders fly from thermal to
thermal by following the clouds, they "fly the cloudstreet", staying aloft
for miles. so now you know!). They perform a delightful mix of traditional
ballads, contemporary songs and instrumentals featuring Nicole's remarkable
flute playing. For me the highlights are their rendition of the Childe
Ballad King Willy and the haunting singing on their own composition The
Diggins-Oh about the goldfields around Bendigo and Ballaarat. They have
been on a really long tour in the UK but they plan to be back in 2005.
They have a good website at www.cloudstreet.org if you want to find out
more about them and order the CD. Oh.don't be in too much of a hurry to
take the CD out of your player. There is a delightful surprise in store
for those with a little patience. |
