Saw Ivan, Andy, Finlay and Iain in Invergordon last night - this is a really exciting project. If the EP is anything to go by then the album will be awesome.

The set consisted of 19 songs - a couple of Wolfsteone numbers, a couple of older Ivan songs and a whole batch of brand new tunes.

This was the third time the band have played live and they were used as a start point for next month's dates in Skye (Aros), Inverness (Ironworks) and Aberdeen (Lemon Tree). Battling against a boomy sound they still managed to show of their skills as a four piece.

There'll be a few short pieces up on You Tube shortly.

The EP is now on sale and includes 5 tracks. Check out http://www.myspace.com/ivandreverband for more info

I don't think it is appropriate to hijack the IDDC mailing list to send this, no matter how important a study it is.
I am a little suspicious of its authenticity anyway as the sender can't even spell VACCINATE correctly!

I'm still waiting for the exact url to link to Ivans site, but to be sure not to miss it
check into http:\\www.nessmp3.com to hook up with stream before 7,00 tomorrow night.
There is a chat window with the broadcast so if you drop in for a listen say hello to Ivan and the guys
who are so kindly putting this together.
This is a test for more folk based live shows from Hootananny.
Hope to hear from you tomorrow, take care.

Well I really enjot the sets they do but top of my list would
definately be The Lewis Blue. It really is a beautiful tune. I would
also like to hear Snowdrops In The Rain and Warm Embrace also from the
Lewis Blue album. I really enjoy hearing them do The Orkney Anthum
which has not been on the setlist the last few times I have heard them
but really I could quite happily listen to them playing most things.

Hi! It´s a dificult question...all their songs are marvelous...but, if I could , I ´d choose "El caballo blanco", "Añada pa Gael!, "Kirkhill", Chi Mi´n Geamhradh", "Leire´s welcome to Cozac"...but any song from "Long December Night" would be good, and I´d love to listen to Duncan playing "Hector the Hero" and "Women of Ireland" (I know that this song is not from Duncan, but I love it, it´s so sad...)

Hi there!!

It's been so quiet lately.....
If I could choose a setlist, I suppose it would have to include almost
all the pieces in "Long December Night", some from Duncan's "Door of
Saints" and "Redpoint", especially "Kirkhill" (I adore this one). I'm
quite unspecific I know, but it's kind of difficult to choose some and
leave others out... How about the rest of you people??

Hi Morag,

thanks for your welcome. No, unfortunately I have discovered them too
late to see them play live in November (if I had known about them just
one or two months ago........ everytime I think of it I
cringe.....!!!). Anyway, hopefully I will be able to go to one of their
gigs next time they're over.

Thanks again and have a Happy New Year.

Hi and welcome to the group. It is always good to have new members
posting. Ivan and Duncan played a couple of gigs in Spain in November
this year so hopefully they will play there again next year. Ian who
started this group usually puts the dates of gigs they are doing both
on this site and Ivan's website www.moo-ahh.com/Ivan/ well before they
happen. Have you ever seen them play together before? I have been lucky
enough to see them play quite a few times now and it is always a very
enjoyable night.

Hi all,

I hope you all had a brilliant Christmas. I live in Spain and joined
this group when I discovered IDDC music and felt fascinated about it. I
read somewhere that Ivan was now living in Spain, and I don't know
where Duncan is based so I was wondering whether this possible distance
would affect them doing their duet music. Nowadays with planes etc
distance is not much of a problem but does anyone know of any IDDC
projects for the near future? Does this mean that we can expect more
concerts from the couple in Spain in the future? I really hope so, I
would love to see them live.....

morag7132 <moragswims@...> escribió:
Had a rainy and foggy journey to Stratherrick Hall, dog and all as
we knew if we left her in the house and fireworks went off she would
try to dig her way out. Arrived at the hall in good time and could
hear the fiddle and guitar in the background as we took the dog a
wee walk before going in. Had been at this hall once before to see
the fantastic play The Accidental Death of an Accordianist which
rates as the best play I have ever seen. Were given a very friendly
welcome by Hugh the organiser and chatted to him for a while. We had
a friend with us who had driven all the way from Norwich to come to
the gig with us. It was his first time seeing Duncan and Ivan live
so we let him choose the seats. Needless to say I was very pleased
when he chose to sit in the middle of the front row. The stage was
along the side of the hall with three long rows of seats in front of
it. This was excellent as it made sure everyone had a good view of
the musicians.

Just after 8pm they came on stage and welcomed everyone, Duncan said
it was the 4th night of their world tour and they would start by
playing a nameless tune of Ivan's (I think he composed it during the
tour in May) Ivan added that tonight might be the night he found a
name for it then Duncan added they would follow it with the 2.40
from Vigo a tune written by Angus Grant from Shoglenifty on the back
of a motorbike on the way to the airport. He had quickly written the
tune as he thought it might be his last chance as the motorbike
driver was driving very recklessly. This was followed by The Piper
and the Shrew, then Ivan sang The Viking Bride. This was followed by
a new instrumental set which I really enjoyed then Ivan said he was
going to sing Rolling Home and it had a very difficuly chorus that
he would teach everyone. When he was teaching it he pretended to
forget the words as they were so hard. Next was the beautiful Johnny
Cunningham tune Night In That Land and Duncan said he knew he always
told this story but he was going to tell it again anyway and it was
the story of Johnny curing his homesickness for Scotland by eating a
nice greasy pie in a cold shower. I think there might have been a
fast set next ? The Rizla then Anada Pa Gael the lullaby written on
the bagpipes.
Ivan told a joke about a man who went into his local pub at the
same time on the same day every week and ordered three whiskies, sat
at a table, drank them and left. Eventually the barman's curiosity
got the better of him and he asked him why he did this. The man
replied that he had two brothers one in America and one in Australia
and that they both went into their locals at the same time he was in
his and did exactly the same. This was their way of remembering each
other even though they were miles apart. A few weeks later the man
went into the bar as usual and only ordered two whiskies. The barman
was a wee bit concerned and waited till the man sat down at a table
then went up to him and said I see you only ordered two whiskies
tonight I hope everythings o.k. The man it is don't worry it's just
that I've stopped drinking!!!!!  Then they played two reels just
before the interval.

Ivan's wife Linda was in charge of selling the c.d's and she also
had some of the jewellery she makes for sale. My frind asked me to
go and advise him what c.d's to buy so ended up with The Orkney
Years 1 and Redpoint. Tea and coffee was aslo on sale---typical no
alcohol the night we had a driver!!!

The second half started with Ivan playing The Grey Funnel Line then
Duncan played the beautiful Mangersta Beach at the start of another
set. Then Ivan sang one of my favourite songs from his days in
Wolfstone the beautiful Song For Yesterday. Next it was The Gentle
Light That Wakes Me with Duncan as usual complaining about Phil
Cunningham waking everyone to get it recorded, followed by a toe
tapping fast set. I have to say the audience were great during the
gig. There was no unnecessary noise and the last noted of every tune
and were allowed to die away completely before people started to
clap. Two young men were in charge of the lighting and they made an
excellent job. They also had a slide show going at times with
pictures of Duncan and Ivan taken when the were recording the D.V.D.
of Long December Nights and a few taken when they were much younger.
Ivan was wondering who the handsome young men in the pictures were!!
Ivan sang I Will Be there which is another one of my favourites. The
lyrics are lovely. Duncan said he had had loads of phone calls that
day one after the other and his phone was still ringing just as they
were ready to leave but he thought he had better answer it. He said
it was his Uncle Don a lovely old man then said he would get told
off for calling him old anyway he told him a "true" story and he was
going to tell it to us.

A man was sitting on a plane and he fancied a gin and tonic so he
politely asked the stewardess if she would bring him a gin and tonic-
-----she just ignored him so he was sitting wondering what to do
when he heard a parrot sitting on the shoulder of a man in front of
him shout to the stewardess hey you fat face will you bring me a gin
and tonic now. Much to his surprise the stewardess went straight
away and brought the parrot a gin and tonic. The man thought so
that's how it's done so he shouted at the stewardess hey fat face
bring me a gin and tonic now and she did. The parrot shouted for
another one, then so did the man. This went on until both the parrot
and the man were quite drunk and shouting really loud. Suddenly the
door to the cockpit opened and the pilot came out. He grabbed the
parrot and the man opened the door of the plane and threw them both
out. As they were hurtling towards the ground the parrot said to the
man "I thought you were being a bit too mouthy for someone that
can't fly"

was played preceeded by the story of the traffic jam near Madrid and
the Barrel brothers and how one of them had a car and couldn't drive
while the other could drive but didn't have a car and now the one
who couldn't drive can drive but you would never know he could as
his driving is so bad. Ivan sang a song I had never heard him sing
before I can't remember the name of it, he said he just fancied
singing it there and then. It was good. Clueless started the next
toe tapping set and that was the end of the second half. Duncan and
Ivan got up and took a bow then sat down again. They said they had
given up going off as they knew they would come back on anyway and
they were getting too old for all that walking on and off.
The encore was the usual Bonnie at Morn followed by Foxhunters. I
know I say it every time but I will say it again they get better and
better every time I see them. They just seem so in tune with each
other no words need to be spoken it is all done with nods and smiles
and it works every time. They stod up and bowed and waved again and
I took a picture which I have put up on the site too. Duncan looks
as if he is spinning a plate on his finger and Ivan seems to have
lost something!!! I'm looking forward to the next tour alreadt.

Had a rainy and foggy journey to Stratherrick Hall, dog and all as
we knew if we left her in the house and fireworks went off she would
try to dig her way out. Arrived at the hall in good time and could
hear the fiddle and guitar in the background as we took the dog a
wee walk before going in. Had been at this hall once before to see
the fantastic play The Accidental Death of an Accordianist which
rates as the best play I have ever seen. Were given a very friendly
welcome by Hugh the organiser and chatted to him for a while. We had
a friend with us who had driven all the way from Norwich to come to
the gig with us. It was his first time seeing Duncan and Ivan live
so we let him choose the seats. Needless to say I was very pleased
when he chose to sit in the middle of the front row. The stage was
along the side of the hall with three long rows of seats in front of
it. This was excellent as it made sure everyone had a good view of
the musicians.

Just after 8pm they came on stage and welcomed everyone, Duncan said
it was the 4th night of their world tour and they would start by
playing a nameless tune of Ivan's (I think he composed it during the
tour in May) Ivan added that tonight might be the night he found a
name for it then Duncan added they would follow it with the 2.40
from Vigo a tune written by Angus Grant from Shoglenifty on the back
of a motorbike on the way to the airport. He had quickly written the
tune as he thought it might be his last chance as the motorbike
driver was driving very recklessly. This was followed by The Piper
and the Shrew, then Ivan sang The Viking Bride. This was followed by
a new instrumental set which I really enjoyed then Ivan said he was
going to sing Rolling Home and it had a very difficuly chorus that
he would teach everyone. When he was teaching it he pretended to
forget the words as they were so hard. Next was the beautiful Johnny
Cunningham tune Night In That Land and Duncan said he knew he always
told this story but he was going to tell it again anyway and it was
the story of Johnny curing his homesickness for Scotland by eating a
nice greasy pie in a cold shower. I think there might have been a
fast set next ? The Rizla then Anada Pa Gael the lullaby written on
the bagpipes.
  Ivan told a joke about a man who went into his local pub at the
same time on the same day every week and ordered three whiskies, sat
at a table, drank them and left. Eventually the barman's curiosity
got the better of him and he asked him why he did this. The man
replied that he had two brothers one in America and one in Australia
and that they both went into their locals at the same time he was in
his and did exactly the same. This was their way of remembering each
other even though they were miles apart. A few weeks later the man
went into the bar as usual and only ordered two whiskies. The barman
was a wee bit concerned and waited till the man sat down at a table
then went up to him and said I see you only ordered two whiskies
tonight I hope everythings o.k. The man it is don't worry it's just
that I've stopped drinking!!!!!  Then they played two reels just
before the interval.

Ivan's wife Linda was in charge of selling the c.d's and she also
had some of the jewellery she makes for sale. My frind asked me to
go and advise him what c.d's to buy so ended up with The Orkney
Years 1 and Redpoint. Tea and coffee was aslo on sale---typical no
alcohol the night we had a driver!!!

The second half started with Ivan playing The Grey Funnel Line then
Duncan played the beautiful Mangersta Beach at the start of another
set. Then Ivan sang one of my favourite songs from his days in
Wolfstone the beautiful Song For Yesterday. Next it was The Gentle
Light That Wakes Me with Duncan as usual complaining about Phil
Cunningham waking everyone to get it recorded, followed by a toe
tapping fast set. I have to say the audience were great during the
gig. There was no unnecessary noise and the last noted of every tune
and were allowed to die away completely before people started to
clap. Two young men were in charge of the lighting and they made an
excellent job. They also had a slide show going at times with
pictures of Duncan and Ivan taken when the were recording the D.V.D.
of Long December Nights and a few taken when they were much younger.
Ivan was wondering who the handsome young men in the pictures were!!
Ivan sang I Will Be there which is another one of my favourites. The
lyrics are lovely. Duncan said he had had loads of phone calls that
day one after the other and his phone was still ringing just as they
were ready to leave but he thought he had better answer it. He said
it was his Uncle Don a lovely old man then said he would get told
off for calling him old anyway he told him a "true" story and he was
going to tell it to us.

A man was sitting on a plane and he fancied a gin and tonic so he
politely asked the stewardess if she would bring him a gin and tonic-
-----she just ignored him so he was sitting wondering what to do
when he heard a parrot sitting on the shoulder of a man in front of
him shout to the stewardess hey you fat face will you bring me a gin
and tonic now. Much to his surprise the stewardess went straight
away and brought the parrot a gin and tonic. The man thought so
that's how it's done so he shouted at the stewardess hey fat face
bring me a gin and tonic now and she did. The parrot shouted for
another one, then so did the man. This went on until both the parrot
and the man were quite drunk and shouting really loud. Suddenly the
door to the cockpit opened and the pilot came out. He grabbed the
parrot and the man opened the door of the plane and threw them both
out. As they were hurtling towards the ground the parrot said to the
man "I thought you were being a bit too mouthy for someone that
can't fly"
