ROWAN LUTE - Mark Laurent

The Rowan lute was built for me by Alan Muggeridge in Taranaki, New Zealand, at the beginning of the 1990s. Alan passed away a few years ago, and he only ever made three of these things, and never wrote an instruction book or tunings for it, so I've just tried to learn its voice, and respond to that as well as I can. This recording is from a house concert in Wanganui, NZ, early 2000s, filmed and edited by Chris Lewis (thanks Chris). Hope you enjoy it.

Thanks mate. A beautiful piece of music played on a wonderful acoustic instrument. My thanks also to Chris Lewis for recording it.

I love house concerts and the smaller, intimate venues. They seem to make you part of the music somehow.

Thanks Tony - yeah house concerts are probably my favourite kind of gig. And when you're like me (not famous) they're probably the most viable gigs too :-)

Go well, Mark

@anandvyasorg

Dude, work off your aggressions before logging into youtube - you intentionally read the second comment page with comments written more than one year ago, just to pick out the one you can complain about!?!

Mark and I clarified this a long time ago, today we just enjoy each other's music!

Anyway, let's just forget this now, and listen to Mark.. I still love this tune!

@JohannesKuenel - No such thing as Stealing - It is Called Marketing Well, Try it Sometime. First one must have Talent ~
