    A Summer In Skye

    by Blair Douglas

    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

    Musicians:
    Andy Allan; Hugh Brankin; Kenna Campbell; Mairi Campbell; Duncan Chisholm; Sandro Ciancio; Arthur Cormack;  Deke; Dick Drake; Glasgow Gaelic Musical Assoc & Kenneth Thomson; Chris Harley; John Henderson, Malcolm Jones, Brian Kellock, Mary Ann Kennedy;  Stevie Lawrence; Ishbel MacAskill; Iain MacDonald; Eddie MacGlone; Eilidh MacKenzie; Charlie MacKerron; Robert Millar; Morph; Jim Mullen; David Paton; Robin Rankin; Drum Corps of the Scottish Power Pipe Band & John Scullion;  Gordon Smith; Fraser Spiers; Chaz Stewart; Ewen Vernal; DaveWatt; Wendy Weatherby; Jimmy Yeaman; Jim Yule.
