"Sarona"
- WPS Records - WPSCD007
The
music of James Scott Skinner 1843 - 1927
Michael's latest album is sequenced and arranged by Kevin Dempsey
who also plays on the CD. Other featured musicians include legendary fiddler
Dave Swarbrick and Fairport Convention's Ric Sanders.
"strong,
fiery ... compelling" - Dirty Linen
"
without question an exceptionally talented and gifted fiddle player." -
The Living Tradition
"marvellous
alacrity and seamless musical authority" - Rock 'n' Reel
"a
fine album ... the magical mixture of the then and the now that makes the best
in modern folk." - Taplas
Michael
believes that the music of Scott Skinner has been too long overlooked. There
have been but a few recordings, the occasional tune on a folk album, since
Skinner's death. With this CD James Scott Skinner's music can be heard and
enjoyed once again.

Falkirk; Bovaglie's Plaid; Lumps of Pudding; Cradle Song; Tullochgorum; The
Wounded Hussar; Stirling Castle/Angus Campbell/The Auld Wheel; The Music of
Spey; Sarona; Lady Charlotte Campbell; The Bonny Lass O'Bon Accord
