Simon Mayor & the Mandolinquents Festival Mandolines de Lunel 2009 Featuring as seated Hilary James, Richard Collins, Simon Mayor & Gerald Garcia. The Mandolinquents play everything from hot swing and ragtime instrumentals from the mandolin orchestras of the 1930s: Irving Berlin, Mozart, Ravel and Tchaikovsky to lively reels and beautiful traditional Irish airs to Chinese and Brazilian folk tunes. All this played with infectious fun, off-beat humour and stunning virtuosity on mandolin, mandola, mandocello, mandobass and classical guitar, with the occasional burst of song or fiddle Acoustics Records www.acousticsrecords.co.uk Promoted by Pat Tynan Media www.pattynanmedia.com Distributed by Tubemogul.
