fynesound

takes listeners back a couple of hundred years  

to a time when Scottish fiddling thrived (especially for country dance), and earliest manuscripts first transcribed.

Melancholy slow airs are artfully arranged to break your heart,

Jigs and reels are plucked and bowed with string snapping, foot stomping energy, and Irish stepdance makes this a visual experience not to be missed!

 Highland Dance adds depth to the rhythmic Marches and Strathspeys.

 

" ... a variety of moods and styles are conveyed - from the rousing Donald McGillivray to the stately Flora MacDonald set to the poignant and evocative ... Almost Home. " - Grainne Hambly

" ... Fynesound lives up to its name in this beautiful recording which transports the listener to 18th century Scotland. " - Billy Jackson
