This is the debut CD from the band Sgorrabreac. (Sgorrabreac is the clan seat of the Nicolsons on the Island of Skye). The band focus on a wide-ranging Gaelic song repertoire and on the Scottish and Irish tune repertoire and aim to create musical arrangements which best suit the mood and spirit of the songs and tunes. A lovely CD with some great songs eg., Track 4 - Chan eil a Chuis a cordadh rium - which tells in a spirited fashion the tale of a man beleagured on all sides by creditors claiming payment!
Sgorrabreac is:
Margaret Nicolson on vocals , piano and fiddle
Michel Byrne on vocals, djembe and whistle
Stewart McDonald on guitar and bouzouki
Orna Gilchrist on fiddle.
