Tony Cuffe (vocals, guitar, harmonium, harp) with Jerry O'Sullivan (uilleann pipes, whistle), Pat O'Gorman (flute), John Skelton (bodhran), Laurel Martin (fiddle), Derek Hoy (fiddle), Jenny Clarke (vocals), Norman Chalmers (whistle), Billy Jackson (harp) and other members of Jock Tamson's Bairns.

Tony Cuffe was born 1954 in Greenock, Scotland and died in Massachusetts, December 2001. He came to the fore as a singer and guitarist within the flourishing Scottish traditional music scene of the 1970s.

Comprising mainly previously unreleased material gathered from surviving private, concert and studio recordings, this album has at its heart tracks from a projected solo album of Scottish and Irish love songs. Tony worked on these recordings at home in Arlington throughout 2001 for as long as his health would allow, and the resulting takes were completed and mixed in Edinburgh in accordance with his instructions. The results are powerful proof of his genius.

Tony was co-founder of Alba, a pioneering band that made an album of that name in 1978, and a year later joined and recorded with Jock Tamson’s Bairns, who came out of Edinburgh’s famous session bar Sandy Bell’s. It is from the band’s first album that the title track of this collection is taken. He became a member of Glasgow-based Ossian in 1980 and recorded four albums with them.

In 1988 Tony made his only solo album, on Iona Records - When First I Went to Caledonia. He toured Europe and North America with Ossian, undertaking radio and television work, and appeared with the influential 7:84 Theatre Company. He contributed to the projects of Billy Kay, including Fergusson’s Auld Reekie, and to Billy Jackson’s ensemble works The Wellpark Suite and St Mungo Suite.

In 1989 he moved to Massachusetts and settled with his young family in Arlington, near Boston. While continuing to tour with Ossian and Billy Jackson, Tony became firmly established as a popular solo performer, adding harp, whistle and harmonica to his skills, and was recognised as a gifted and inspiring teacher of traditional music.

He performed regularly with the cream of Scottish and Irish musicians in the United States and worked extensively with The Windbags, who provide the track which opens this album. More recent recording projects included tracks on Gaelic Roots and Fred Freeman’s Complete Songs of Robert Burns series.

The project would not have been possible without the generous contribution of skills, resources, advice and guidance from many individuals and organisations on both sides of the Atlantic, detailed in the sleeve notes. Executive producer Stuart Eydmann.
