Jenna Reid - Laughing Girl

(February 2008) 11 tracks (41 mins): The Laughing Girl * The Hams O' Muckle Row * Happy Tom * William And Eileen Reid * Janine's Reel * The Wild White Swan * The Skye Diving Waltz * The Fairy Queen * The Five Mile Chase * Neil Gow's Lament For The Death Of His Second Wife * Da Cappie Stane.

The second solo album from the talented Shetland lass, a member of Dochas and Filska.

As well as superb fiddling we hear Jenna's vocal prowess on a couple of tracks.

With Shetland and Irish influences very much to the fore, her natural style is a joy to hear.

Jenna Reid (fiddle, accordion, vocals) with Bethany Reid (piano, fiddle, vocals), Kevin MacKenzie (guitar), Duncan Lyall (bass), James Thomson (flute, vocals), Iain Sandilands (vibes, percussion) and Martin O'Neill (bodhran).
