Woman: Breaking the Rules. Part 3: Kate Mountain

Woman: Breaking The Rules is a project celebrating women in Greater Manchester music. The project, which comprises 5 films, a pop-up exhibition and several events, is part of Manchester Digital Music Archive's HLF-funded Rebel Music programme and is led by MDMA co-founder Alison Surtees.

Kate Mountain won the management category for her 18 years as owner/manager of The Roadhouse, one of Manchester's most loved live music and club venues in recent history.

“I played bass with the band in it's original configuration - Dave Ives”

“Still chasing copyright on this one but meanwhile there is a version on Youtube with English subtitles. Translation is a bit dodgy - suspect AI - but it's good enough to follow the French and German interviews and Edith Boulogne is interesting on Alain Delon and the son he never acknowledged ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xjPZbigB4NA”

“The third photo shows some pieces by Giovanni Gabrieli from his Sacred Symphonies composed in 1615. Musica Rara (which has now been bought out) was an edition where all Gabrieli's Canzons and Sonatas, which only featured brass instruments, were published. Mr Howarth must have numbered the works for a project and indicated the number of voices and instrumentation required. As for the third photo, it's a manuscript by Mr Howarth of one of his fabulous fanfares, which only he knows the secret of. There you have it, I hope I've given you some guidance. Greetings from Switzerland Christian Rudaz”

“Hello, As an unconditional fan of the Philip Jones Brass Ensemble, I'm passionate about discovering everything to do with this group. For several years now I've been researching on the net to find elements that will increase my knowledge of what will remain the best brass band even after its demise. The comments below are my own, and of my own reflection. If I can help you with Mr Howarth's notes; The first image contains musical modes ( scales ) such as: hypodorian, Dorian, Lydian, phrygian, ionic ( Ionian ), Aeolian. It takes a long time to explain, but it's very interesting. So I invite you to visit the net and see the complete definitions. The names ( on the left ) of Primi Toni, Quarti Toni, Octavi Toni, Noni Toni must be related to the works and related modes ( following columns ). Then the last two columns are perhaps related to the tonality and the writing key of the different voices. The second image should be a commentary on the number 12 in photo 1.”

“Longshot question ... I was at this gig at the Ritz and there was a band who supported them who I thought were brilliant, but I cannot remember the name for the life of me. It was a male band, does anyone know who they were?”

“Julien Robinson's name spelled incorrectly.”
