Customer Reviews
A very good player Jon MacTier
I had been looking for a Paul Anderson recording for a long time and was delighted to come across The Journey Home which the notes say was recorded by him in 1997. He is a very good player who captures the intricate north east style with apparent ease. A nice selection of tunes throughout and several sets to show off both his feel for the music and his technical dexterity.
