Sark o' Snaw

Mick West - Sark o' Snaw: Mick is known as one of Scotland's finest traditional-style singers and this excellent album produced by Fraser Fifield should  enhance his reputation even more!  He has an honest Scots voice and an ability to interpret the songs so well the listener is captivated by the stories within them. A stellar cast of supporting musicians including Stevie Lawrence, Frank McLaughlin, Ali Hutton, Mario Caribe and  Fraser Fifield  plus great CD sleevenotes on the history of the songs. While Mick West has performed on the  international stage, in his home town of Glasgow, he is a key figure on the traditional music scene working tirelessly at putting on events and keeping folk music on the map.
