First Album

by Aly Bain

 Aly Bain writes "I have long wanted to bring this original album out on CD. The recording was made in November 1984 in Shetland at Viking Vision - long since defunct. Margaret's Waltz was for a while the most requested piece of music on Radio Scotland, and the Barrowburn Reel can be heard wherever traditional musicians meet. Some recordings seem to date quickly, but this one for me stays fresh as ever. My thanks again to Violet Tulloch (piano), Willie Johnson (guitar), and Mary Gair (bass) for their contribution. The recording is respectfully dedicated to my parents who have both died since the original album was made and to my late friends Ronald Cooper, Arthur Argo, Tich Richardson an Tom Anderson."

Musicians: Aly Bain - fiddle, Violet Tulloch - piano, May Gair - bass, Willie Johnson - guitar. Track 9 Aly Bain - fiddle, Tich Richardson - guitar, Tommy Thompson - banjo, Jack Herick - bass

Review: " .....Here you have forty-two minutes of the finest fiddle-playing money can buy: that very rare combination of tradition, technical brilliance and true feeling for the music. This would definitely be one of my desert-island discs!" Alex Monagan, The LivingTradition

Review: It's astonishing to think I'm the first to review this! It's usually on my PC's CD player to cheer me up when I need it. Aly sublime as usual, and it's a treat to hear the support from Violet Tulloch and the wonderful Willie Johnstone (sadly recently deceased). Essential listening for anyone who likes honest craftsmanship and artistry.
