Hellebore/Man in a Brown Hat
Two ridiculously groovy Scottisches...which is a type of music where various peoples visited Scotland, listened to some trad music, thought 'oh that's quite nice I could write something like that', and proceeded to write...something VERY not like that. And now we've brought them back to Scotland! It's wonderful the way music travels. Lee Young: violin Thea Wilson: violin Eldon Bradfield: viola Santiago Gil Duarte: cello/percussion Rhona MacDonald: bass Isla Hallewell: harp

Davidson the Luthier
Our take on a beautiful air by composer and fiddler Gavin Marwick. from Gavin: "The fiddle I still use for Ceilidh gigs I got in 1979...inscribed inside are the luthier's details and the instrument's date: D.E. Davidson of Lower View Craig, Edinburgh 9/1/1896...This tune is by way of a thank you, and acknowledgement of Mr. Davidson for making such a grand Scots fiddle." Lee Young: violin Thea Wilson: mandolin Eldon Bradfield: viola Santiago Duarte: cello Rhona MacDonald: bass Isla Hallewell: harp
