We come to expect the unexpected from Blair Douglas. His albums are ahead of their time, breaking new ground in the interpretation of Gaelic music. They exude confidence and class and while bringing us music and song which embraced influences from other cultures, demonstrates the ease with which Blair operates within his natural element - the Gaelic cultural tradition. The compositions in both ancient and contemporary idioms from Gaelic cultures are represented, as are ones which echo some of the world's other traditions. To this add Blair's consummate skill as a musician, those of some of the very best in Scotland
