Phil Cunningham and Aly Bain are two of Scotland's best loved and furthest travelled musicians. Aly Bain has played with many musicians including Boys of the Lough and Mike Whelans as well as hosting groundbreaking TV Shows including Aly Bain and Friends and the Transatlantic Sessions. Phil Cunningham toured the world with Silly Wizard and Relativity (to name but a few) and recently hosted the very popular Scotland's Music TV programme. Phil Cunningham is also an amazing composer.
Aly Bain has gathered a fantastic group of 'friends' in the shape of Capercaillie, Boys of the Lough, Phil Cunningham, Willie Hunter, Willie Johnson, Violet Tulloch and many more.
This album was first released in 2002 and ably demonstrates the talents of these two fine musicians. There is surely no-one writing more beautiful airs than Phil Cunningham nor anyone who can play them with more feeling than the peerless Aly Bain.
A beautiful blend of Phil’s own compositions with traditional tunes, served up with a level of both excitement and sensitivity that only Phil Cunningham could deliver.
