This single Thig A-Steach is the first track off F\u00e8is Rois album \u2018Gneiss\u201d by Iain Fraser.<\/p>\n
F\u00e8is Rois commissioned Iain to write and record a new suite of music to celebrate the 30th anniversary of F\u00e8is Rois nan Inbheach. The album takes its name from the ancient rocks underlying much of north-west Scotland, and draws inspiration from the places and people that have contributed to F\u00e8is Rois’ development, whilst evoking the passing on of tradition.
