The Snows They Melt The Soonest by Hannah Rarity

This song came back to my attention when doing the 2018 ‘A Christmas Celtic Sojourn’ with Brian O’Donovan and a lovely bunch of folks in Boston. It was brilliant to come up with a fresh arrangement with the fab house band which featured Owen Marshall, Maeve Gilchrist, Seamus Egan and Natalie Haas. I first heard […]

Fetlar Lullaby by Jenna Reid

The Fetlar Lullaby is a beautiful tune that I first learned from playing with the Shetland Fiddlers Society. The ‘the 40 fiddlers’ will celebrate their 60th birthday this year, and they’ve done an incredible job of promoting traditional Shetland fiddle music. Founded by the late Dr Tom Anderson and with Aly Bain and the late […]

Bonnie Lass of Fyvie by Iona Fyfe

A new single from Scots Singer, Iona Fyfe. One of the most well-known of Aberdeenshire songs, I got this from the singing of Sam Kelly, who recorded ‘The Bonnie Lass of Fyvie’ on his album titled “Pretty Peggy”. Bob Dylan recorded “Pretty Peggy-O” on his 1962 debut album and performed the song with a more […]
