Knowe o' Deil: The Viking's Bride (Attic Records ATT 015, 1987)
By the time of this - their third - recording, Knowe o' Deil were a duo consisting of Ivan Drever (vocals, cittern, mandola, guitar, whistle and synthesiser) and Ian Cooper (guitar, bass, synthesiser). However, there is a dedication on the sleeve for "the past ten members of the Knowe o' Deil". Their first release was Orcadia, followed by Orkney Anthem. After The Viking's Bride, Ian "went on to other things," while Ivan teamed up with Dick Clarke from Skye.
Drever, from Orkney, is well known as a member of Wolfstone, and has frequently toured and recorded with collaborators such as fiddler Duncan Chisholm, Stuart Eaglesham and Wayne Mackenzie.

But thanks for all these treasures I am having a great time discovering the music! and I've uploaded many of the artists to www.rateyourmusic.com.

ReplyDeleteI have re-zipped it and re-uploaded it. Please let me know if this fixed the problems.
ReplyDeleteI have just uploaded a quality upgrade (320 abr), so please try it and tell me if it sorts the problem. Thanks.
ReplyDeleteHi, thank you; I also bought the tape some 200 years ago in Edinburgh, but this upload has a few cuts, could you please try to upload it without them? Thank you!
ReplyDeleteWhat do you mean by cuts?
ReplyDeleteI can't thank you enough for posting this download! My cassette of this album, purchased in Edinburgh in 1988, is about worn out. One grateful Yank waving thanks from Michigan!
ReplyDeleteUps can I not download it here somewhere? Thank you.
