CD Launch - Lincoln Drill Hall February 11th 2006
The CD Paston Present was officially launched at an informal lunchtime concert in the Armoury Cafe Bar, with all four performers taking part. A good number of people came to hear us, both general public and those coming specifically for the launch (they enjoyed a free glass of wine!) The group would like to thank Richard Still and his team from the Drill Hall for making us so welcome, and Nick Parkes from Meden Recordings for turning up with his recording equipment. Email Nick at  meden.recordings@btinternet.com for information about his work.  

Some comments from the listeners:

"Our grandchildren were enthralled"
"A lovely lunch spent very restfully"
"We so enjoyed today's recital"
"Thank you for sharing your music and skills with us"
"Enjoyed the lovely rendition of the beautiful music - transported to another era"

 

“I heard it playing at the Lindum Records stand during the Early Music Exhibition and was impressed, and enjoyed playing it.   One expects the sound of viols for much of this music; the more varied ensemble here lacks the gravity of a viol consort of the period, but the music is easier to listen to in this more varied presentation.”
