Aonghas is one the finest exponents of the Scottish West Highland fiddle style, as well as being the father of Shooglenifty's Angus Grant.

The famous Left-handed Fiddler has never had a formal lesson, but in the 1960s and 70s he was fiddle champion at the National Mod four times, and won the Tom Anderson cup twice.

His style is typical of the old fiddlers in the Great Glen area.

"Recorded live in the Birnam Hotel's great vaulted hall this is the first solo album by the great Lochaber traditional fiddler, sparingly accompanied by some friends and his son Angus - the fiddling frontman of acid crofters Shooglenifty. Scores of young players have absorbed the distinctive West Highland idiom from old Aonghas so in this age of creeping homogeneity, if you want a mature taste of salt, peat and Gaelic in your fiddle music, here it is..."
