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.
