I was looking on YouTube for Kathryn Tickell as I wanted some Northumbrian pipe music, as you do. Then I found this, and watching Alistair Anderson immediately had me back, in the company of ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
dougalsservant, in the 1970s at the High Level Folk Club on the banks of the Tyne where, as one of the High Level Ranters, he was a regular.
Here is a man who puts both body and soul into playing his concertina - and he's wearing rather well, too - this was filmed at the concert for his 60th birthday.
What's more - you get Kathryn Tickell, as originally sought, Alistair also playing the small pipes - and Richard Thompson. What could be better?
And - as a second course, very, very, different, here are Albannach playing at the Millport Maritime Festival on the island of Cumbrae.
What I really would like is someone playing Northumbrian pipes to those drums.... but that track is pretty close to what I am trying to imagine. And yes, Elves, Solstice, and Dancing might have been in my mind...
