Shetland is turning out fiddlers at a prodigious rate. Reid is probably the best known, from her performances in native band Filska, and international travels in the pan-Scottish Dochas. Here, with Edinburgh jazzer Kevin Mackenzie on guitar in a line-up of top musos, she lets herself go. And if in the eponymous set of reels she seems to bolt her food, there's more considered mastication, later, in tunes like the Gow lament, or her own 'William And Eileen Reid.' She sings too – in a gentle piano-and-harmony-fiddle song, written by her mum. ..NC

The new album from Jenna Reid, Laughing Girl, underlines her reputation as the leading fiddler of her generation in Scotland...But it's in a duo such as the one with Mackenzie that Reid really blooms and shows why she was nominated as Best Instrumentalist in the 2007 Scots Trad Music Awards. Expect sparks to fly - and a good greet when she puts her heart and soul into the sad tunes.
