 LAST
NIGHT'S FUN: Simon Melia
CD
Simon Melia (19 August 1957
- 17 November 1994) plays G/D button accordion
on all tracks.
Simon's music was almost always heard within a
group setting, either in a band or more oftern
at a session. The bulk of the material which surfacedin
the preparation of this CD was of his band performances:
gig tapes, band rehearsals tapes, demo tapes,
album and radio projects.
The compilation is designed to encompass as wide
a range of Simon's playing as was possible to
collect.
The finished product contains the essential ingredients
of a favourite Simon melia session: a rake of
reels, some jigs, polkas, hornpipes, a few songs
and more reels.
We hope you find this compilation contains at
least a little of the spirit of Simon and his
music, and that it is a fitting tribute to a wonderful
musical talent.
Proceeds form the sale of this CD will go into
a special trust fund to benefit Simon's children.
Compilation and pre-production: John McAuslan
and Tony Hargreaves
