Northamptonshire, a location where our Scottish Folk Band can playTowns, cities and regions have an influence on the style of music, whether it is the 'English Countryside' feel of Vaughan Williams, the strength of Elgar's Victorian Malvern, or the skirl of Northumbrian Pipe tune. Of Northamptonshire, has been said:- " Northamptonshire is situated in the middle of England, and has more borders with surrounding counties than any other county in the country. It is approximately 60 miles long and 25 miles wide. Six major rivers run through Northamptonshire, and they are the Nen, Welland, Ouse, Avon, Leam and Cherwell. Traditionally it has been a county of cattle, horse and sheep rearing, with associated butter and cheese making. Woad for dyeing was grown and there was also a sprinkling of orchards. Northamptonshire was not a large centre of manufacturing, but silk stockings weaving, lace-making and wool-spinning took place. Additionally shoes were made at Northampton and Wellingborough. " In the orchestra, percussion instruments are effective in inverse proportion to their number. ~ Charles Stanford CLICK HERE [Scottish Folk Bands in Northamptonshire for your wedding] [About Scottish Folk Bands] [Ensembles in Northamptonshire wedding music repertoire] [About Northamptonshire] [About music in Northamptonshire] [About Wedding Venues] [About Wedding Ceremonies registrars, ministers and music] [About other kinds of music such as jazz or folk] [Frequently Asked Questions FAQs] [Ensembles1] [Ensembles2] [Ensembles3] [Ensembles4] [Links] [Home Page] | | |
