Gryphon - eponymous

Postby C » 19 Feb 2009, 17:39

Griff once called Gryphon, Amazing Blondel et al medieval bollocks.

He was half right

A seminal use of unusual instruments including mandolin, basson, crumphorn etc- they made a robust sound.

Richard Harvey recognised as one of the finest recorder players on the planet.

Their first?

Robust?

I think so

Anyone join me?

I thought you were about to tell me that Gryphon was his original board name and he shortened it to Griff. I was seeing a whole new side of him.

We should start calling him Gryph upon his return. :twisted:
