		There is a lot of English folk music, but my tastes to date favor only a small sample of it, and much of that comes from the northern edge of England, particularly the area of Northumbria on the border of Scotland.

		However, Youth Music also says in its report that the so-called Mozart Effect never really happened, but was a misinterpretation of research into the effect of passively listening to music on the reasoning abilities of young adults.

		Primarily, it's a record of the music of Northumbria - pipes and fiddle dominate - but there's also a splendidly-told story (by Margaret Watchorn) and three songs from Graham Dick.
		There will be those amongst you who, like me, lament the effects of 'competitions' on the young musicians of the North East of England - which all to often seem to result in a player 'cramming all the notes in' regardless of the effect on the rhythm of the piece.
		What delights me particularly is that this is a family story, which tells how the Dodds (she was once Margaret Dodd) acquired their name - and this seems to undeline my point about this being a record, in the true sense of the word, of a community.

		Above all, he seriously and meticulously understands where his music is coming from, both in the wider context of his knowledge of piping traditions, and in the specific origins of his own style.
		So, as a demonstration of the music, and as a fine record of an accomplished piper at the height of his powers, this CD hits the spot, and is no less than we'd expect from a producer as experienced and focussed as Mike Yates.
