Rachel and Lillias - Dear Someone

(July 2008) 11 tracks: Bonnie Lassie * Hoi Leffie! * Nighean Nan Geug * The Wrong Medicine * Rich Man's Daughter * Waltzes * Dear Someone * Harp Set * Mo Thruaigh Leis Thu Ille Bhuidhe * Young Horseman * Wedding Reels.

Rachel Newton plays harp and sings, and Lillias Kinsman-Blake plays flute.

Traditional and contemporary tunes perfectly interwoven with Gaelic and Scots singing, the combination of voice, flute and harp has produced a hauntingly beautiful debut CD from these two young musicians.

Rachel Newton and Lillias Kinsman-Blake first met while studying Folk And Traditional Music at the University of Newcastle Upon Tyne.

Their music draws on influences from the Scottish Highlands to the Borders and beyond, incorporating both Gaelic and English songs with traditional and contemporary melodies, including one song by Gillian Welsh.

With Paul Jennings (percussion).
