FIRST HEARING:
The normally exciting Skipinnish people have done it again with another album, this time a fiddle extravaganza with Archie McAllister.
Things always appear to be fast at 'Skipinnish' but that may well be because of the quality of the production, the main players and their supporting cast who collectively keep things moving but without the clutter.
You buy a fiddle album then that's what you get but everything is so well brought together that the supporting cast don't intrude in any way, but simply get on with their supporting cast role. They all seem to compliment each other.
Very Highland!
