Daimh - The Pirates of Puirt

(April 2003) 10 tracks: Supernose * Wreckd 'er * Slippy Sean's * The Funny Whistle * Bonny Doon * C Tune * Toad * The Sandy Lad * Mazurka * The Lady's Dance.

Dàimh (da-eve) offer a fresh, up to date approach to traditional music. An exciting combination of musicians hailing from Cape Breton Island, Ireland, the West Highlands of Scotland and the ever-innovative Irish/American scene, the band effortlessly blends music from their native traditions with a few more tunes picked up en-route.

Fusing together their individual styles on bagpipes, fiddle, banjo, guitar, bodhran and mandola to create a unique and compelling sound, their music knows no boundaries. Several members of the band are already well acclaimed within the Scottish music scene as session musicians and tutors, in demand all over Scotland.

Daimh are Angus MacKenzie (Highland pipes, Border pipes), Ross Martin (guitar), Colm O' Rua (banjo, mandola), Gabe MacVarish (fiddle) and James Bremner (bodhran).

"One of the fieriest bands on the traditional scene today." (Sue Wilson, The Scotsman)
