Some say the best contemporary fiddler in north east Scotland others say the best traditional. This album features both. This is Carmen’s debut album and contains a mixture of Scottish, Irish and self-penned tunes played in both traditional and contemporary styles. A close relation of the great Jeannie Robertson and her daughter Lizzie Higgins, Carmen went on to play with Shetland fiddle band Rock, Salt and Nails before becoming a founder member of Aberdeen band, The Old Blind Dogs. As you would expect for someone with Carmen’s pedigree, her astonishing talent shines through in every track. A great album for fiddle lovers.
Customer Reviews
Carmen Higgins. Robyn Gray
Can't for the life of me understand why this album is so under rated. Carmen Higgins is in my opinion amongst the GREAT fiddle players of our time and this album is testimony to that.
