A song-cycle of Gaelic songs, passed down from generation to generation and containing every aspect of life: birth, love, play, work, death and the supernatural. All songs performed by Margaret Bennett.

Martyn weaves archive Gaelic material, field recordings of natural sounds and songs by his mother Margaret, along with vintage analogue equipment, samples and state-of-the-art effects, into a forward-looking yet deeply rooted soundscape.

"Although we live in an anaesthetised age, it is reassuring to know that love endures and trouble persists as much now as it did in the time of my forefathers. To listeners unfamiliar with the authentic sound of Gaelic traditional music, this album may be challenging. It is, however, free from the influences of commercial new-age, 'Celtic' or tie-dyed fantasy, as Glen Lyon is an expression of the true richness of Gaeldom." (Martyn Bennett)
