SINGER and fiddler Mairi Campbell and guitarist Dave Francis have earned a reputation for making refined, often subtly understated music over the years, and their latest outing is well up to standard. Campbell's sweet, evocative singing is framed against spare guitar accompaniments and her own elegant fiddle playing, spiced up by the addition of Derek Hoy's meaty fiddle on Jean Yelland (an instrumental by Campbell) and the traditional song Higher Germany.
