A live performance of the commissioned work at Celtic Connection 2008.
The 'bridge' is between classical music and traditional music.
With the added strings, more often heard on the classical side, and the basic traditional threads you can hear where Patsy is going and making some very interesting music as a result.
Think 'Music for A Found Harmonium' and ADD a 'heuch' or two.
