We Shall Remember
Sons
of Ulster
Flute Band
THE Sons of Ulster Flute Band was formed in 1999 in memory of UVF
Volunteer, Noel Kinner.
High
standards are demanded both in membership and performance, standards of which
Noel himself would undoubtedly have approved.
This, their first CD,
exudes class from start to finish. From
the Dedication onwards, the band treat the listener to a fine selection of tunes
which include old favourites like No Surrender and Boyne
Water. They also perform a
terrific rendition of Rabbie
Burns and an excellent, rousing interpretation of the much-loved
classic, Carrickfergus.
Whether a preference is
for Blood and Thunder or Melody, this is a CD all can enjoy.
Also included are four vocal tracks: the poignant Ballad of Noel Kinner, the
hopeful A Prisoner’s Freedom, a superb drum-led version of The
Gunrunners and the beautiful Spirit
of Ulster.
The Sons
of Ulster have produced a CD they can be proud of and in doing so have
proved themselves to be men of note in every respect.
They deserve success and if this CD is anything to go by their music will
be heard the length and breadth of the
UK
and beyond.
All in all, an excellent debut.
Iain Muir.
