These melodies all come from Gaelic songs from Tiree. The first song, \u00d2ran Manitoba, is from the famous John MacLean, \u2018B\u00e0rd Bailemhartain\u2019. Bailemartain was home to so many bards at one point, it was known locally as \u2018Baile nam B\u00e0rd\u2019, or the Village of the Bards.
\nTir a\u2019 Mhurain, or The Land of the Maram Grass was composed by my great-auntie Sarah \u2018Skippinis\u2019 MacDonald in praise of Tiree. The third song, Air Mhadainn Diardaoin was written by Capt. Alick MacDonald of Milton and tells of a ship leaving from Caolas in the east end of the island. Anna joins us again on the clarsach for this set.<\/p>\n
The musical partnership of the Scottish Pipes and Fiddle is one that is quintessentially and historically Hebridean. Jamie MacDonald and Christian Gamauf have taken this format and incorporated influences from places such as Cape Breton Island in Nova Scotia and Asturias in the north of Spain, putting their own stamp on the music.
\nJamie and Christian met while living and studying on the Isles of Uist and began playing together at local concerts and events. After travelling to Asturius on a musical and cultural exchange project, along with performances at Ce\u00f2l on the Croft, Celtic Connections and Celtic Colours Festivals, the duo started working on their debut album, \u2018The Pipe Slang\u201d.<\/p>\n
