John Carnie has long been involved in the music scene in Scotland - both traditional and blues. Leaving Edinburgh in 1985 to move to Aberdeen to take up a job, he CD features an eclectic mixture of old and new traditional tunes from Shetland, the West Coast, the Borders and the North-east.  John Carnie adds: "I've absorbed a lot of influences over the years and even taken up the fiddle to give a deeper understanding of fiddle tunes.  Many great guitarists have been flatpicking jigs and reels for years and  I wanted this one to have an entirely Scottish feel to it.  The tunes come from the treasure trove of reels, pipe tunes and harp tunes that form the backbone of the Scottish musical heritage"
