\"GEAN01CD3\"It\u2019s Ower is the penultimate track (12) from Gerda\u2019s album of her own songs NIGHT TOUCHES DAY, described by The Guardian as having \u201cthe power of a great Scottish ballad\u201d. Rory Macdonald of Runrig says: \u201cThe final two tracks It\u2019s Ower and Aye the Gean truly deserve to become classics in their field, and if there’s any justice, ought to be covered, again and again, so abundantly rich lyrically and melodically, staying with you long after you’ve finished listening.\u201d<\/p>\n

Gerda was nominated for the MG Alba Scots Trad Music Awards 2014, as Scots Singer of the Year. Her album NIGHT TOUCHES DAY has been widely acclaimed. Like her poetry, drama and prose, some of Gerda\u2019s songs are autobiographical, some are other people\u2019s stories, some a combination of both. They cover a range of styles, from folk to swing. Theatre collaborations brought her together with the fine musicians on this album: Konrad Wiszniewski – saxes; Seylan Baxter – cello; James Ross – piano; Rob MacNeacail \u2013 bass guitar and harmonium; Norwegian multi-instrumentalist Kyrre Slind \u2013 guitars, mandolin, banjo and lute, and Inge Thomson on accordion. \u201cOne of the most refreshingly original albums I\u2019ve come across in a very long time\u2026defies definition \u2013 truly inspirational.\u201d COLUM SANDS, BBC RADIO ULSTER. \u201cStunning songwriting\u2026singing and arrangements are impeccable\u2026full of lovely wee quirks and surprises, it regularly caught me out by going to places totally unexpected but totally right. Braw, braw wark, aathegither.\u201d DICK GAUGHAN.<\/p>\n
