    Love and Loss

    by Margaret Bennett
    Bookmark and Share

    In late 2007, Margaret Bennett appeared in the 'Love & Loss' section of Phil Cunningham's acclaimed television series 'Scotland's Music'. In the course of the programme she spoke of her late son Martyn, the talented musician and composer who died of cancer in 2005, aged 33, and sang Padraig Mor MacCrimmon's 'Cumha na Cloinne' (Lament for the Children (1650). Margaret's version “Fhir an Fhuilt Dhuinn” (Brown-haired Boy), was composed by Martyn's grandmother Peigi Stiubhairt, after she watched theprogramme. She's 88 and has, in many ways, been quite silent over her loss, but her song, composed to the piobearachd she has known for over seventy years is her expression: 'This is just how I feel,' she said, in every sense resonating with Phil's discussion on the Gaelic lament.

    This CD was made in response to the messages Margaret received following the broadcast of the programme.

    Cameron Drummond plays Highland bagpipes on track 1. The last 2 tracks (from Margaret's archive) were recorded and produced by Martyn Bennett

    The proceeds of the CD will endow the Martyn Bennett Memorial Scholarship at the Royal Scottish Academy of Music and Drama.
