Veteran have just released the long-awaited CD of Phil Tanner – ‘The Gower Nightingale’. A ‘Voice of the People’ style case allows room for a massive booklet of notes and the song texts as well as the little round piece of plastic that holds 16 songs as well as the wonderful radio programme about Tanner by Wynford Vaughan Thomas. These recordings were made in 1936 and in 1949 and demonstrate fully the talent of one of the greatest of traditional singers. Order from Veteran www.veteran.co.uk
