Grogarry Lodge - The Simon Bradley Trio: This is a really excellent CD! Manchester-Irish fiddler Simon Bradley’s 20-year musical journey, via Edinburgh and Asturias to Benbecula, resonates through his all-original new trio CD with Anna-Wendy Stevenson and Matheu Watson. They play fiddles, viola, mandolin, banjo and guitar in a polished, lush and dynamic sound reminiscent of The Easy Club/Fine Friday/Django/Session A9 - “traditional swing”. Simon’s original compositions reflect his up-bringing within Manchester’s Irish community, his Donegal heritage, his years in Edinburgh’s musical hotbed, his Asturian connection playing with Llan de Cubel, and his current residence in the Outer Hebrides of Scotland. Such a 'lift' to their playing and amazing musicianship as you would expect from such top-notch players.
