An Clàr Geal (The White Album)

by Alasdair White

West Highland fiddle player Alasdair White is a wonderful musician. Now aged 23, having been highly regarded and talked about since his early teens, An Clàr Geal (The White Album) is his first solo CD. Alasdair is Battlefield Band's virtuoso fiddle player where his musicianship and tune making have had a great influence on the bands repertoire and continuing success. From the first moment you put it on it hits you straight in the face with
great playing and excellent recording quality. Alasdair has to be one of the top fiddlers playing today and this recording shows off his many qualities from reel to slow air playing.

Alasdair plays fiddle and whistles on this album and is also joined by Aaron Jones (bouzouki, bass guitar), Ewen McPherson (guitar, tromb, mandolin, banjo), Mike Katz (Scottish small pipes, highland pipes), Iain Copeland (percussion), Russell Hunter (piano) & Alison Kinnaird (Scottish harp)

Media Reviews

THE current occupant of the Battlefield Band fiddle chair is this still young yet extremely accomplished Lewisman. Though he also handles a rake of other instruments, this is very much his fiddle showcase. A traditional march, strathspey and reel is played solo on the fiddle, then his pals from, among others, Malinky, the Peatbog Faeries and Old Blind Dogs join a piano on a beguiling set of Gaelic waltzes. This is a thoughtful and stylish album. http://scotlandonsunday.scotsman.com/review.cfm?id=1672232006

	Superb fiddle Michael McD
	An awe-enspiring display of fiddling for such a young talent. A real player the younger generations can look up to!
