Description: | For more than 30 years the High Level Ranters have been one of the most influential bands, playing traditional music, to come out of the North East. Certainly their continued use of the Northumbrian smallpipes has contributed significantly to the instrument's recognition worldwide. The band take their name from the famous High Level Bridge in Newcastle and more particularly the Bridge Folk Club at the North end of that bridge, which the band made their spiritual home. This photo, taken in 1965, shows the bands best known line up of (left to right) Tommy Gilfellon, Alistair Anderson (third from left), Johnny Handle, and Colin Ross. Local fiddler Forster Charlton stands second from left. ; A collection of photographs of North-East composers, musicians and performers taken by musician Johnny Handle in the 1970s and 1980s. ; | Publisher: | Newcastle upon Tyne ; | Rights holder: | rights holder : Handle, Johnny | Subjects: | musicians & musical instruments | Temporal: | start=1960;end=1970; | Source: | Folk Archive Resource North East | Identifier: | farne:J0000008 | Go to resource |
