Title: Tune - Glencore Diversion
Post by: Ebor_fiddler on July 12, 2018, 04:10:12 PM

Does anybody know anything about this tune? I think it's modern and possibly Australian, as there is a dodgy international mining company called Glencore who divert rivers, in particular the Hunter River in WA  >:(. I doubt if there are any dots about, but access to a recording would do as well, I suspect. I'm not asking for myself you understand ...
Thanks in advance,

Chris B.

Can't help with the tune, but for the record Glencore is headquartered in Switzerland, is the largest miner in the world (by revenue), and is active in the Hunter Valley, NSW, not Hunter River WA. Whether it is dodgy or not is a matter of opinion, but it does employ over 16,000 Australians, so not all bad.

Lovely tune!  I just wanted to comment on those session musicians providing the accompaniment, whose arrangements appear in shot in the clips of Young Trad 2014.  Just, wow!

There are dots on the piano in shot  if you can get a good resolution?

Thanks nigelr. I've passed it on to the enquirer on The Session. I found the same one by Google, but could NOT get it to open. Have you some magic unknown to others?

Not magic or knowledge, so just lucky I think  :D
