Trio Rat
If I was organised, there would be a photo of us here; but I'm not, so there
isn't and you'll have to make do with this one for a while.
Trio Rat are :-
- Richard Robinson (clarinet)
- Andy Hornby (mandolin, octave mandolin, whistles)
- Tony Cook (guitar, and song)
Hence the name ...
These are excerpts from our demo CD. They are home-made recordings - this is a
new band. One day we'll get some paid gigs and be able to afford the studio
time to make professional-quality recordings, but in the meanwhile these give
an idea of what we can do. If you think you might like to give us a booking and
would like to hear this in proper quality, email me and I'll send a CD (please,
serious possibilities only, they cost us money to send out)
- Minuet, from Rasmus Storm's Notebook.
Rasmus Storm was an eighteenth-century Danish fiddler. He wrote a lot of
tunes down, and his collection was re-discovered a few years ago.

The first is really a reinländer, from Ringnes, in Norway. I think
the 2nd is Swedish.
