Drone Rage…..Dave Rowlands is pleased to announce the release of his collection of tunes, Drone Rage, the first of two planned tune books. This volume contains 31 original tunes, (most with harmony parts) by Dave, 1 tune by Hurdy-Gurdy player extrordinaire, Simon Raine, and a further 61 traditional tunes from Dave’s library, and old, dusty collections he has had the pleasure of looking through.
Dave’s tune section has a strong French bias, while the traditional section is a mix of Border, Irish, and English tunes well suited to Swayne/European fingered pipes. There is a section detailing the sources, any changes made to the tunes, and any historical information I have about these tunes.
While being mainly of interest to Swayne/European pipe players, there is much to interest the players of other instruments, particularly Gurdy’s, Pipe and Tabor, other pipes with a range exceeding one octave, and musicians seeking hidden gems.
Priced at £13.00 + p&p, is available direct from the publisher at present, and will shortly be available direct from Dave. For further information, contact Dave daverowlands@ntlworld.com
