Gordon Pattullo and his Ceilidh Band - Sure as the Sunrise [CD] Ref: GPCD002-GP
This recording is a blend of sounds that have become familiar to Gordon's many fans across the globe. The usual line up features accordion, fiddle, piano, bass, guitar, banjo, drums, smallpipes & whistles.
All of the music was arranged by Gordon which includes 4 of his own compositions. Also included are some popular dances such as The Gay Gordons and Canadian Barn Dance. There is a duet between accordion and piano (Bugler's Holiday), and the beautiful airs - Hector The Hero and Samantha's Lullaby featuring Gordon's son Fraser on smallpipes & low whistle.
This is the 19th recording that Gordon has made and the second on his own label. (GP Recordings)
The CD title has thoughts of the horseman who was the most respected of all farm workers. With his trusty "pair" of Clydesdale horses he could undertake almost any task up to twelve hours a day and usually six days a week. Committed, reliable and faithful - "Sure as the Sunrise"
On the sleeve notes Gordon writes: "I would like to thank the musicians for their fantastic contribution to this recording. This CD was recorded in one day, each track being rehearsed and then recorded. It is their excellent reading, improvising and playing skills that make it all possible..."
