about

Tartan Trousers – by Allan Evans
The Umbrella Chase - by Robert Hillman & Hilary Glaisher
The Broken String – by Cameron Hibbs

Rob devised a tune-writing challenge whereby we drew lots from little bits of folded paper in an external hard drive box to see which key we each had to write a tune in. The result was the Tunes from the External Hard Drive set. ‘Tartan Trousers’ pays homage to Cameron’s fantastic plaid pants, which came from an op shop in Rye on the Mornington Peninsular where we celebrated New Year 2013.
