SHORE TO SHORE

BMCD007

13 tracks of original songs and music

Scotland is a small nation, but its people have a big heart,and reach out beyond themselves worldwide.

This is our second CD as a duo, with a mixture of new songs and instrumentals, many focussing on our Scottish connections around the world, each with a story, and most of all about people and histories of the past and present.

Fortunately, people seem to really like what we do, and ask what kind of music we perform. The answer is not one genre or another, but a blending of everyone and everything we have met along the way. A coming together of both our musical journeys, combined into one together, with elements of our respective musical backgrounds in Celtic, Classical, Traditional, Contemporary Music and all else.

But most of all our music is about people, and all those who have influenced us and inspired us along the way.

On this new CD we are joined by the very best musical companions and friends. We also especially owe sincere thanks to Nick Turner, Mary Ann Kennedy, and Rycote at the wonderful Watercolour Music in the Scottish Highlands for their enthusiasm, musical and technical skills, and most of all for their encouragement and support yet again in the creation of this CD album.

And equally we want to thank all the wonderful people around the world who have supported us and our music along the way.”

We hope you enjoy them, take them, sing, play and share them yourselves.
