The Sweet Sounds and Singing Strings of Dedicated Dulcimers
Welcome to the latest edition of the Audio Supplement to the Nonsuch Newsletter – the latest of Ken Hudson’s regular rambles – in search of dulcimer music, and information.
Our aim is to give the Newsletter an added audio dimension. The latest edition of Dulcimer Junction continues to support the music and information printed in the Nonsuch Newsletter – and includes contributions from Nonsuch members – and links to a number of articles within the newsletter.
In this latest edition – Dulcimer Junction No.18 – we have a lovely tune played by members of the Southern Nonsuch Meet – an insight into the background of mountain dulcimer maestro Geoff Reeve Black – a first hearing of an unusual track from the new album from Hannah Sanders & Ben Savage – a look at how dulcimers have been used to accompany other instruments and singing – and advice on playing in a ceilidh band.
