Borderlands was another Geoff Heslop production, and in Rod's words
marked the young piper's rite of passage from 'traditional music teenage
prodigy' to 'original artist with own creative agenda'. It was an
all-instrumental album, on which Rod played fretless bass on
Stellgreen/Roly Gentle/Stellgreen and
Gypsy's Lullaby/Tartar Frigate, as well as fretless bass & electric
slide guitar on Flowers of the Forest. Rod is also credited as the arranger
of the last of these tracks, a traditional air.
Kathryn will be best remembered by present company for having contributed Northumbrian pipes on Another World, the haunting instrumental closing track of Lindisfarne's 1989 album Amigos, and again on Stamping Ground. |
'Briefly, I knew Kathryn from her "child prodigy" days at the Rothbury Traditional Music Festival, & some of the other guys (Ray, Marty et al.) knew her from when she flirted (musically) with their part-time band Dust on the Needle, so I guess she was a mutual acquaintance.'
