Fine Friday - Mowing The Machair

(December 2004) 12 tracks: Chi Cha * When First I Came To Caledonia * The Tide Full In * Mowing the Machair * Gin I Were A Baron's Heir * Two Jigs * Ta Se In Am Domsa Eiri * Simon's * Lisa Giles * Waltzes * The Bleacher Lassie of Kelvinhaugh * Hornpipes.
Emerging as one of Scotland's leading traditional trios, Fine Friday's music is at once powerful and poignant, with exquisitely articulated fiddle, percussive accented flute, guitar wizardry and choice vocal harmonies.

On this, their second album, they are on fine form with imaginative arrangements and their usual high standard of execution. Nuala shows herself to be a charming singer but Kris Drever displays why he is considered one of the most impressive new voices on the Scottish music scene with his versions of old favourites When First I Came To Caledonia and The Bleacher Lassie.

Anna Wendy Stevenson (fiddle), Nuala Kennedy (flute, whistle) and Kris Drever (guitar, vocals).
