Description: | Recorded at the Anson, Wallsend on the 23rd November 1979, this recording is one of 25 selections taken from a concert featuring four of the most respected Northumbrian musicians of the late 20thC. To hear any one of them play was always a memorable event. To hear all four playing together must have been a rare treat indeed.Performing on that night we hear George Hepple - fiddle, Willy Taylor - fiddle, Billy Atkinson, mouth organ and Joe Hutton smallpipes. Whilst most of the recordings are of solo performances there are three recordings which feature all the musicians playing together, a duet from Billy Atkinson and Joe Hutton and two glorious combinations featuring Joe Hutton or Willy Taylor accompanied by George Hepple playing some elegant second part variations.In this selection, the final number from that concert, we hear all four musicians joining together to play the rousing hornpipe 'Harvest Home'. One of the best known hornpipes, this is a mainstay in the repertoires of musicians as far apart as Northumberland, Devon, Scotland, Ireland, Pennsylvania and beyond. ; extract from two of 19 reel-to-reel tapes.
