To be honest i'm not sure he's played it in recent weeks, so he may not play it anymore. |

16 May 07 - 03:41 AM (#2053214) Subject: RE: Mike harding theme tune From: Sugwash The opening 'theme tune' was Catharsis played by Natalie MacMaster from her album No Boundaries. Mike Harding's show seems to have dispensed with the opening tune of late. I've heard the tune called The Catharsis occasionally. |

16 May 07 - 07:41 AM (#2053333) Subject: RE: Mike harding theme tune From: GUEST It's that rare beast, a tune which naturally wants to be in G minor. All the session players in US are into it, apparently. |
