Media Reviews

Already in the shops, this is a great album of Scottish and related fiddle music from its seven cheeriest practitioners. Texas cowboy airs, Hardanger tunes from Norway and Irish reels make their appearances, but the dozen tracks are defiantly centred round the Highlands and Islands, and if the ensemble arrangements with keyboard and guitar are always stirring, interesting and imaginative, as in the opening 'Skylark's Ascension', the 'individual' tracks allow a focus on the varied regional styles and interpretations - none more so than Iain MacFarlane's heart-stoppingly expressive 'Skye Air' from the historic Patrick MacDonald Collection...Colin Somerville, Scotland on Sunday, 25th September 2005 http://news.scotsman.com/features.cfm?id=1988662005

Customer Reviews

	Sparkling music Simon T
	Yet another fine recording from one of my favourite bands. This release features the band in ensemble and solo mode and it works well. My favourite set is the Miss Johnstone set of reels and favourite solo is Iain's Skye Air. A great release.

	group or solos fiona
	this is a good album from the blazing fiddles but feel it has lost some of the life of earlier albums with the solos and smaller group work. My main attraction to the blazing fiddles was the energy from so many fiddlers and this is not so evident in this album. Agree that iains solo is my favourite and some of the group sets are good including the shetland set and the donegal set with nice interplay. would recommend purchasing but only if you are happy to listen to lots of solo fiddling as well.
