In
2005
Roy
Goldring
published
“A
Reel
for
Alice”,
another
collection
of
lovely
social
dances.
At
the
time,
music
was
not
recorded
for
these
dances,
so
as
the
book
has
just
been
re-printed
by
Scotscores, it was an appropriate time to come full circle and produce this CD.
Ian
Robertson
(fiddle
&
accordion)
is
joined
by
Muriel
Johnstone
on
piano
and
bass
for
16
lively
tracks,
using
many
original
tunes
by
Muriel
and
Ian
alongside
other
well-known
composers,
interleaved with traditional tunes.
