Review:
Raised at the historic head of Loch Shiel - but eschewing musket, targe and claymore for fiddle, banjo, box and joanna - this gathering of front-line instrumentalists is well able to cool the heels of any ardent terpsichore from any side of the Tweed, but especially the West Highland side. Blazin' Fiddles' Iain MacFarlane, Daimh's Colm O'Rua, Cliar's Ingrid Henderson and Lochaber accordion maestro Dougie Hunter have pedigrees that guarantee quality....Norman Chalmers Scotland on Sunday
