It&#8217;s named after a winding back-road between Galashiels and Selkirk in the Scottish Borders, which runs through countryside where my grandfather was a shepherd many years ago. The album consists of 11 tracks of self-penned tunes played on a variety of instruments, supported by a number of fine musicians from the Scottish Borders \u2013 including a couple of tracks with my old ceilidh band. The tunes mainly refer to people and places I have known over the years. The album is available as a CD or download from my website, or as a download from iTunes etc.<\/p>\n<p>I retired from teaching in 2009, and from the \u201cClarty Cloot Ceilidh Band\u201d, after 20 years on the fiddle, a couple of years back. I&#8217;ve been composing music ever since.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Artist website:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/ericfalconer.scot\">https:\/\/ericfalconer.scot<\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>Single title:<\/strong> The Road to Yair<br \/>\n<strong>Album title:<\/strong> The Road to Yair<br \/>\n<strong>Release Date:<\/strong> 16\/04\/2019<br \/>\n<strong>Single artist:<\/strong> Eric Falconer<br \/>\n<strong>Single duration:<\/strong> 3.20<br \/>\n<strong>Record Label:<\/strong> Brigside<br \/>\n<strong>Catalogue No:<\/strong> BS159<br \/>\n<strong>Writers:<\/strong> Eric Falconer<br \/>\n<strong>Publishers:<\/strong> Brigside<br \/>\n<strong>Explicit?: No<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Search Terms:<\/strong> {Search terms:18}<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"follow-cat-feed\"> Follow these topics: <a  href=\"https:\/\/projects.handsupfortrad.scot\/folkwaves\/category\/member-releases\/bagpipes\/feed\/\">bagpipes<\/a>, <a  href=\"https:\/\/projects.handsupfortrad.scot\/folkwaves\/category\/featured-release\/feed\/\">Featured release<\/a>, <a  href=\"https:\/\/projects.handsupfortrad.scot\/folkwaves\/category\/member-releases\/fiddle\/feed\/\">fiddle<\/a>, <a  href=\"https:\/\/projects.handsupfortrad.scot\/folkwaves\/category\/member-releases\/guitar-banjo-etc\/feed\/\">Guitar, banjo etc<\/a>, <a  href=\"https:\/\/projects.handsupfortrad.scot\/folkwaves\/category\/member-releases\/feed\/\">Releases<\/a><\/p><div id=\"downloadinfo-panel\" style=\"display: block;max-height: 200px;overflow: scroll;width: 100%;margin-bottom:15px\"><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u201cThe Road to Yair\u201d is the first track on the album of the same name.
