Scimitar Sessions (rehearsal tapes)

Some rather scratchy old recordings of our band, Scimitar (and some precursors and offshoots), circa 1980.  Mainly rehearsals/practices.  The band was Clive Fenton (guitar and lead vocals), Ian McIntosh (bass) and Kevin Di Rollo (drums). Of course, we didn't have any "proper" recording equipment so just used what was available, which was at best a cassette "PortaStudio" and at worst a dictaphone!

Demos of my Home-made P-Bass

Playing my bass, along with some famous (well, moderately well-known) tracks...

Note: It may be necessary to stop and re-start some tracks, e.g. if playback stops abruptly (it's a timeout/loading issue with the website that I've been unable to resolve).

This page was getting rather unwieldy so now it just lists my most recent recordings, with older material moved to other pages, linked at the foot of the page.  Note that there is no particular reason for the way artists have been grouped on pages other than an attempt to keep each page roughly the same size.

Not a great day, weatherwise - Chilly, even saw some sprinklings of snow on the way up, and pretty overcast, so not great for photography, but managed a decent walk along part of the Tay and round along the Almond. Stopped for our coffee and cake break when we reached the railway bridge before heading back to the car.

All this New Year stuff is proving to be too much for someone:
