Telford, 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 Telford, has been said:- " In 1849 the railway came and Wellington immediately became an important junction with lines to Shrewsbury, Crewe, Stafford, Wolverhampton and to South Wales via Much Wenlock. Now the M54 Motorway is also just as important a link as the railway. Being on the edge of the East Shropshire coalfield, but surrounded on 3 sides by fertile farmland, Wellington became the chief town of its area for its livestock market and its wool sales. It also developed into the local shopping,' banking, professional, transport and trading centre. With the advent of Telford, a 'new town' built on the farmland between the towns and villages of the Wrekin area, Wellington's way of life was to change dramatically. Wellington has nevertheless managed to retain its identity complementing the Telford Town centre and through the continued housing development at its fringes and the thriving Wellington Market, it continues as a successful and important part of the Wrekin community. " There are in the music of the violin ... accents so closely akin to those ofcertain contralto voices that one has the illusion that a singer has taken her place amid the orchestra. One raises one’s eyes, and sees only the wooden case, delicate as a Chinese box, but at moments, one is still tricked by the Siren’s deceiving call; at times too, one thinks one is listening to a captive genie struggling in the darkness of the sapient, quivering and enchanted box, like a devil immersed in a stoup of holy water; sometimes, again, it is in the air, at large, like a pure and supernatural being that unfolds its invisible message as it goes by.
