Catriona McKay - Catriona McKay - GLIMCD01

(2002) 10 tracks

Debut solo album from a dynamic young Scottish harper with a distinct, communicative and vibrant style. Traditional Shetland and Scottish tunes blend with new tunes in the traditions, woven through with gentle jazz swing. Double bass, fiddle and percussion add extra depth to the treatment of the melodies with the harp sometimes backing the tune.
