The recording was inspired by a number of sources, including Altan, the Bothy Band, and the Chieftains, along with more personal memories from childhood. Dual fiddles form the core of the sound, but it's not just for fiddle lovers - there's definitely something for everyone here, from strong and strident to sweet and tender, deep and serious to light and playful, and everything in between.
