A Rùm Fuar / Cup of Tea / The Shetland Fiddler
(C. James/ trad. / trad. arr. skyhook)
A Rùm Fuar (The Cold Room) is in Martin and Cath’s favourite bothy in a particularly beautiful corner of the Western Highlands. The Cup of Tea is an Irish classic, and The Shetland Fiddler is a Donegal reel closely related to The Hawk by fiddler James Hill. Featuring Cath and Martin on fiddles, Eoin on guitar and a guest appearance from Mike Fleming on double bass.
Then and Now
(C. James arr. skyhook)
A haunting slow air dedicated to friends past and present.
Green grass grows bonny (Traditional arr. skyhook / Lynch) A tale of love and deception, unusual for being told by both protagonists in the first person. Eoin originally heard it in a different form sung by his mother. The guitar arrangement tips a Glengarry hat to the fine musician Tomás Lynch, who himself learned the song from Liam Weldon.
Tom Dey / Cutting Ferns / Considering a move / Jack Daniel’s Reel
(J.S. Skinner / trad. / J. Holland / J.M. Rankin arr. skyhook) A strathspey-reel set inspired by the fiddle players of Cape Breton. We got these tunes from Jerry Holland’s second tunebook, published by Paul Cranford.
