did i see jon boden amongst the islanders musicians?
I just got this from the lady who cleared all the music for the show:
"There was a nucleus of musicians who played in various episodes led by Stewart Hardy on fiddle. The others, some of whom didn't play on every music item, were Charlie Buchanan (fiddle), Dave Shaw (Northumbrian pipes), Terry Wisker (bodhran), Ian Stansfield (bodhran).
The only male vocal I can find in Ep 1 (other than on commercial records) is Tristan Gemmell, one of the actors, who sang Bonnie at Morn and in Ep 2 the only female vocal I can see on the music cue sheet is Alison Krauss's recording of 'You Will Be My Ain True Love (Sony Records 4421819A)."
