Fine Friday - Gone Dancing

(April 2002) 13 tracks (49 mins): Cold Blow, Helicopter, Tune For Nuala, Selkie, The Cuckoo, Rock 'N' Troll, Humming Bird, Spacehoppers, Special People, Slip Jigs and Reels, Deep Sea World, Ceilidhs In The Cave, Funeray.

Emerging as one of Scotland's leading traditional trios, Fine Friday's music is at once powerful and poignant.

Their first album of Scottish and Irish music - strong yet sensitive treatments of traditional tunes, combined with fine new pieces from the band.

Anna Wendy Stevenson (fiddle), Nuala Kennedy (flute, whistles, backing vocals) and Kris Drever (guitar, vocals, double bass).

"The tunes - a mix of Scottish, Irish, Scandinavian and original material - keep the pace nice and mellow, while Kennedy and Stevenson's melodic interplay supplies a sweet balance of grace and vitality, fruitfully backed up by Drever's distinctively shaded guitar work." (Sue Wilson)

"The music is well-chosen and nicely paced and rendered in beautifully expressive fashion." (The Scotsman)
