FIRST HEARING:
Quite a bold step - 13 'new' songs in Gaelic.
But on this first hearing it is a concept that might just work.
Well sung and suitably accompanied - there are few notes to tell us much more but one guess is that Margaret wrote the songs and Paul sang them, accompanied by Margaret on Keyboards.
Margaret has been on from USA (on holiday?) to tell us the CD was a bit of a rush job -= all done in three hours. Pop stars eat your hearts out!
Leaning into the non-Gaelic Scots for a moment - 'gaun yersel folks!"
