Idiom is a sparkling blend of traditional, contemporary and original material, invigorated with jazz, blues and ragtime flavours.

Another superb album from Orkney sisters Jennifer (fiddle, viola) and Hazel (guitar, piano).

Traditional sounding jigs and reels alongside ones with terrific bluegrass or skiffle influences, sublime slow airs and lively polkas.
