Luke Plumb with James Mackintosh - A Splendid Notion

(December 2008) 11 tracks: The Cornerhouse * Cameron McFadyen * Drunken Landlady * Peacock's Feather * The Gallowglass * Marion And Donald * The Nightingale * O' Carolan's Receipt * Ashtray On The Altar * Battle Of The Somme * Beauty Spot.

Luke Plumb of Shooglenifty, with percussionist James Mackintosh from the band.

The long awaited solo album from Luke - simply mandolin with a bit of percussion.

The mandolin is often used in Scottish and Irish music, but here it is heard as a lead instrument with just James' innovative percussion.

Mainly traditional tunes, played in a fresh style.
