The Gathering Quiz Night.

[Trish Santer]

The tremolo comes the day AFTER the Ginintonic?
So what's both chromatic and diatonic?

[nigelgatherer]

What's both chromatic and diatonic? What's both chromatic and diatonic? Mmm. Oh Trish, that's a difficult one. I'll need to think about this...

[nigelgatherer]

In the Gesto Collection of Highland Music (1895), there is a slow tune entitled The Bonnie Banks of Ayr. In this book it is stated that it had been composed by a particular prominent Scotsman usually not known for writing tunes. Who was he?

[Calum Galleitch]

This is a guess, but given the locality, Burns? I have an inkling that he wrote the very occasional tune.

[nigelgatherer]

You're right, Calum. It is generally accepted that Burns did not compose any tunes, and I have no idea of the accuracy of this attribution, but it is there, in black and white.

Your turn.

[Calum Galleitch]

At last, a use for all the drivel I have been accumulating for oh so many years.

One of the classic 2/4 competition style pipe marches is the mighty six-parted tune Lord Alexander Kennedy, by Black Watch piper James Honeyman, published in the Scots Guards book one. But what is its full title?

[nigelgatherer]

"Lord Alexander Kennedy's Older Brother, 12th Earl of Clachnapudding's Penultimate Farewell to his Cousin's Sister's Dog's Litter on the Occasion of Its Reemergence from Puppyhood" ?

[nigelgatherer]

Since Calum's being quiet, I'll pop in an easy one:

Who's this Scottish musician?

[Brian McClory]

Could this be the venerable Jimmy Shand?

[nigelgatherer]

Well done, Brian, it's Sir Jimmy playing a fiddle. Whatever next? Hector MacAndrew playing a melodeon?
