THE combination of piper Fred Morrison and bouzouki player Jamie McMenemy was always going to be a winner and this CD proves the point in spectacular fashion. Morrison’s startling technical virtuosity is obvious but he is also a wonderfully musical player on both Highland and lowland pipes (and whistle), and retains a lyrical grace at even the most searing tempos. His compositions are equally compelling and are interspersed with well-chosen traditional material. McMenemy uses all his accumulated musical acumen in his accompaniments and Tony McManus adds guitar on a couple of tracks. A front-runner for folk disc of the year.
