************************************************************ ********************
The Recruited Collier
From the coalfields in the north of England.
****************************************
Probably from the early nineteenth century.
"What's the matter with you, me lass, and where's your dashing Jimmy?"
"Them soldier boys have picked him up and taken him far from me
Last pay-day he went into town and them red-coated fellows,
Enticed him in and made him drunk, and he'd better gone to the gallows.
The very sight of his cockade, it sets us all a-cryin', And me, I nearly fainted twice - I thought that I was dyin'
Me father said he'd pay the smart and he'd run for the Golden Guinea,
But the sergeant swore he'd kissed the book, so now they've got young Jimmy.
When Jimmy talks about the wars, it's worse than death to hear him.
I must go out and hide me tears, because I cannot bear him.
A Brigadier or a Grenadier he says they're sure to make him,
So now he jibes and cracks his jokes and bids me not forsake him.
As I walked o'er yon stubbled field - below where runs the seam,
I think on Jimmy hewing there, but it was all a dream.
He hewed the very coils we burn, so when this fire I'm leetin',
To think the lumps was in his hands - it sets me heart a-beating'.
So break me heart and then it's o'er, oh break me heart, me dearie,
As I lie in this cold, cold bed, of a single life I'm weary."

Ray Russell
http://www.myspace.com/rayrussell
A consummate professional as guitarist, composer and producer, Ray has an extraordinary capacity for both virtuosity and versatility. More than just a great session player, Ray has been a collaborator, front man, band member, arranger, composer and friend to many of the Worlds most influential musicians, bridging the chasms between different musical genres with ease. His talents span different media as well.
Over four decades, Gill Evans, John Barry, Tina Turner, Phil Spector, The Ronettes, Van Morrison, Art Garfunkel, Dionne Warwick, Bryan Ferry, Jack Bruce, Cat Stevens, Phil Collins, Alex Harvey, Mark Isham, Georgie Fame, Frankie Miller are but a few of the artists and producers who have known that Ray Russell would add something special to their work.
From Plain Jane, a period drama to the ITV flagship detective series A Touch of Frost, many of televisions best loved shows are uplifted by Rays music.

Pianist and composer Geoff Castle has played with top names on the British jazz scene since 1970. He was born in North London in 1949. His father was a photographer, his mother a social worker. Both parents were musical and he started piano lessons at the age of 8. He joined the National Youth Jazz Orchestra in 1967 with whom he toured nationally and visited France and Bulgaria. After leaving NYJO in 1970 he joined Graham Collier's septet which starred at the 1971 Montreux festival winning two prizes. Geoff has featured in both acoustic and electric jazz and he joined Ian Carr's Nucleus in 1974 playing electric piano and Moog. He played with this band for eight years and appeared on six albums and many European tours. The band played at the first Jazz Yatra in Bombay in 1977. His compositional credits with Nucleus are Rachel's Tune from Snakehips Etcetera, Mysteries from In Flagrante Delicto and Solar Wind from Out of the Long Dark.
During the 1980s he recorded more original material with Strange Fruit and Paz. He was commissioned to compose a suite for Camden Jazz Week 1981 that featured on BBC radio and Channel 4 TV. In 1983 he visited New Zealand where he worked with tenor saxophonist Brian Smith and recorded "Southern Excursion" which was voted NZ jazz album of the year. He was musical director for the NZ film "Should I Be Good?" and played on several other soundtracks. On returning to England he composed the incidental music for BBC TV's eight part "Nippon" series.
