Jamie McClennan - In Transit: First solo recording from the New Zealand-born musician, best known for his work with Scottish singer
Emily Smith. Upbeat dancing tunes with soulful melodies that capture Jamie's energetic and slightly off-the-wall fiddle playing perfectly. On this recording he's accompanied by the fantastic guitar work, both acoustic and electric, of former band mate, Gerry Paul, rhythm section of Duncan Lyall on Double Bass and Fraser Stone, and the soaring, pulsating flutes and whistles of Alan Doherty. There's some great bluegrass mandolin touches by Canadian maestro Andrew Collins and some beautiful cello by Adelaide Carlow.
If you like this you'll love Goodnight Ginger by John McCusker. Brilliant fiddling.
