Description
Alan Reid and Rob van Sante 4th release is an album dedicated dedicated to all those ordinary, down to earth (rough Diamonds), past and present, who without batting an eyelid put their lives at risk day and day out to keep the cogs of the economy turning
Notes
Reid and van Sante are ex members of the hugely successful and long running (since 1969) Scottish folk group, The Battlefield Band. Alan researches historical and contemporary events that catch his interest with great depth and attention to detail. He then writes wonderful story songs with such diverse topics as endangered species of Sea Eagles
to the loneliness of the life of The Last Lighthouse Keeper and a whole album’s worth of songs about John Paul Jones.'
Rob provides beautiful guitar backing (and forwarding!) on guitar which he jokingly referred to as his high strung wife. To continue this image, he stroked her with gentle passion eliciting sighing harmonies and driving rhythms as the mood warranted. He sings in an intrinsically British traditional style delivering songs with heartfelt sincerity. This
came through strongly in one written by an ex-miner as a conversation between the miner and the Coal: “Men may win the battles but Coal always wins the war.” Besides original material and modern songs, they livened up well known traditional songs with a twist.
