    The Sound of the Summer

    by Skipinnish
    Bookmark and Share

    The duo of Angus MacPhail (accordion) and Andrew Stevenson (pipes) also known as Skippinnish are back with their third CD and it is great! Mary Ann Kennedy describes them as "the ultimate surf 'n' turf combo" and Rona Lightfoot says their music is "as delicious as a rich chocolate truffle!" while Allan MacDonald of Glenuig reckons that Skipinnish "are not a band - they are a distillery with a unique blend and aesthetic that surpasses any single malt!"

    Skipinnish  have a wonderful 'lift' to their playing and they always sound as if they are enjoying themselves. They also have a fab guest list of grand musicians scattered across the tracks.

    Musicians:
    Angus MacPhail: accordion; midi bass; backing vocals
    Andrew Stevenson: Highland pipes; whistles; small pipes; low C whistle; backing vocals
    Rachel Walker: Lead vocals & harmony vocals
    Malcolm Jones: guitars & bass; keyboards; 2nd box; backing vocals & tromb
    Archie McAllister: fiddle
    Alex Dalglish: guitar
    Andrew MacPherson: percussion
    Roddy Campbell, John Alex Mackay &  Angus ‘Bolt’ MacLeod: backing vocals
    Iain MacDonald; flute tromb; 2nd Highland pipes
    Fraser West: drums
    Iain ‘Stretch’ MacFadyen: drums
    Allan MacDonald: tromb
    James Graham & Norrie MacIver: backing vocals
    Mary Ann Kennedy & Deirdre Graham: backing vocals

     

    Media Reviews

    one of the most cheery, beguiling and eclectic fruits of the great youth-led revival of traditional music in the Highlands and Islands.


    Launched a fortnight ago in Oban, the Tiree/Lochaber duo's new album is their biggest production to date, with everything from Gordy Duncan bagpipe tunes and Para Handy community singing to Runrig's electric guitar. Then there are the popular Irish songs such as 'Spancil Hill', Gaelic song medleys, straight accordion and bellows-pipes playing march, strathspey and reel, as well as full-on Highland pipe-powered band numbers.

    In all, 17 guests from the cream of Gaeldom's music-makers have helped create this album, one of the most cheery, beguiling and eclectic fruits of the great youth-led revival of traditional music in the Highlands and Islands.
