This Tuesday, November 6, at The Ship Pub in St. John’s,
Newfoundland, Canada, the new band Cotillion will
release their first CD, entitled Tinker’s Wagon. The show
begins at 8 p.m. and there is no cover charge.

The core trio of Cotillion are:

Hugh Scott: vocals, guitar, mandolin
Dave Panting (who is in Rawlins Cross and was in Figgy Duff):
vocals, guitar, mandolin, bouzouki
Gerry Strong (who was in Tickle Harbour): flute, whistles

and they will be joined on some songs/tunes by guest musicians:
Matt Hender: double bass
Rosemary Lawton: violin
Gayle Tapper: harp
Geoff Panting: piano accordion

I plan to pick up a CD at the show and will follow up to
this post with a brief review eventually.

He does play mandolin and flute too but stuck to guitar and vocals
in the show.

Dave Panting (who is in Rawlins Cross and was in Figgy Duff):
vocals, guitar, mandolin, bouzouki

He didn’t play bouzouki or guitar but played two mandolins,
an octave mandolin, and a banjolin.

Gerry Strong (who was in Tickle Harbour): flute, whistles

and they will be joined on some songs/tunes by guest musicians:
Matt Hender: double bass

Matt played the whole show.

Rosemary Lawton: violin
Gayle Tapper: harp
Geoff Panting: piano accordion

It was a great show.

I have the CD but haven’t listened to it yet but will follow
up again after I do.

I’ve had a couple of listens to the CD and heartily recommend it.

It contains seven songs and five tune sets.

The songs are Gypsy Laddie, Pretty Boy Floyd, Captain Wedderburn’s
Courtship, and The Bonnie Bunch of Roses, all sung by Dave Panting,
who was the original vocalist and is the main songwriter of Rawlins Cross,
and Gay Old Hag, Oh No Not I, and The Ups and Downs, all sung
by Hugh Scott, who has a voice somewhat similar to that of Stan Rogers.

The five tune sets are:
1. jigs: Australian Waters/The Haunted House/Rambling Pitchfork
2. hornpipes: Golden Eagle/City of Savannah
3. reels: The Lions/Genevieve’s Reel/Julia Delaney
4. Venezuelan waltz: La Partida
5. modern reel composed by Hugh and the others: Swilin’ Off The Funks.

The #3 set drew a tear from my eyes during the live show.

Anyway, this mix of rousing songs and driving tunes by some of
Newfoundland’s most experienced and top celtic musicians
stands up with the best in the genre worldwide.

It isn’t available on iTunes or CDbaby yet, but can be ordered
from http://www.fredsrecords.com/ or http://www.obriens.ca/
or by emailing “Hugh Scott”<hugovonfunkenstein@gmail.com>
