Classical adaptations

[David W]

Hi swarb,

I have really enjoyed the English Fiddler CD of your compositions.

Have you ever been approached by any orchestras to record you work in a fill orchestral setting. Peter Maxwell Davies for instance has done some good adaptations of traditional / traditional style Scottish fiddle music over recent years (Farewell to Stromness for one) and I think some of your tunes would sound wonderful fully orchestrated.

its a splendid idea, and i would love to see it done.One doesnt just suggest it to whoever, i wouldnt have a clue how it would happen .The idea to do it though ,would have to come from one of the orchestra's.fiddlesticks was with an orchestra and was great fun.

It needs a radio producer to read this and put it forward to the BBC or something - you know who you are!!

all the radio producers i know are pushing up daises, i knew the producers of pc49, riders of the sky, and dick barton special agent and  could sing the signature tunes to you. In my house its still referred to as the wireless.
