A formidable vocal and instrumental combination, this new Gaelic group has the potential to make a major impact on the Scottish traditional music scene. Thirteen tracks featuring traditional and Contemporary Gaelic Song and Highland Music with Arthur Cormack (Gaelic Song), Ingrid Henderson (Piano & Clàrsach), Mary Ann Kennedy (Gaelic Song & Clàrsach), Maggie Macdonald (Gaelic Song), Bruce MacGregor (Fiddle) & Chaz Stewart (Guitar), this is their debut album, and has already been described by one BBC presenter, Anne Marie Middleton of 'Celtic Connections' as' the album of the year so far'.
Media Reviews
"One of the most beautiful sounds in 21st Century Scotland"
"this will travel the globe"
"Good Gaelic songs sung correctly, the words and the phrasing sit beautifully and the CD works just as well as a folk music album as a Gaelic album; this will travel the globe."
..sets a new benchmark for a primarily acoustic, but modern interpretation of traditional vocal music.
"This, their first recording, sets a new benchmark for a primarily acoustic, but modern interpretation of traditional vocal music. Their sensitivity and deep knowledge puts them above the many bands who either copy traditional sources parrot-fashion or sample them tokenistically without appreciating the importance of context. This is an example of a traditional album that goes somewhere new without forgetting where it comes from"
