People And Songs Of The Sea
by Compilation
People And Songs Of The Sea : This is a lovely album reflecting the rich cultural heritage of Scotland's fishing, with recordings from some of Scottish music's finest artists. Shona McMillan, of the Thorburn fishing family from Fisherrow, set up the People And Songs Of The Sea exhibition to celebrate this heritage from a Firth of Forth perspective. The exhibitions run from May to December during the Year Of Homecoming 2009 in libraries and other venues from Edinburgh to Eyemouth and beyond, and this album was produced in association. The CD kicks of with 'Farewell Tae The Haven' featuring the incomparable voice of the Ceolbeg singer Davy Steele then on to 'The Fisherman's Wife' beautifully sung by Heather Heywood. There are so many great tracks on People And Songs Of The Sea, it really is an album of full of gems.
Singers include Cilla Fisher, Isla St Clair, Cathy-Ann MacPhee, Shona McMillan, the late Davy Steele, Archie Fisher, The Cast, The McCalmans, The Harbour Lights Choir (Cockenzie), Blackeyed Biddy, and The Fisher Folk Choir.
