A Tale as yet told for Enfield

Enfield Citadel to releases a Bandsman's Tale — with a little help for a great friend.

Enfield Citadel
 

Enfield Citadel Band has been busy recording their new CD entitled, ‘The Bandsman’s Tale’ to be released later this year.

Introductions

One of the most recorded SA bands around, Enfield were delighted to welcome Retired General Shaw Clifton to their recording sessions to add several short introductions to three large scale works to be recorded.

I felt that having a short introductory track from a friend of the band in General Shaw Clifton detailing the storyline behind the music will heighten the enjoyment for the listenersJonathan Corry

Speaking to 4BR, conductor Jonathan Corry said: "We are recording three large scale works, 'Song of the Eternal', 'The Bandsman's Tale', which is believed to be the first SA recording and 'Victorian Snapshots — Ratcliff Highway'.

I felt that having a short introductory track from a friend of the band in General Shaw Clifton detailing the storyline behind the music will heighten the enjoyment for the listeners."
