FIRST HEARING:
Proving, once again, that there are no set lines in good traditional music. Good players will always find a way to make things sound simple and easy on the ear.
So don't be put off. This is great stuff, out of the norm but, maybe, just maybe it's the other folk that are 'out of the norm'.
Also here, the theme concentrates as much on the composers & arrangers as the tunes/songs themselves and adds to the interest.
Scottish-Italian music! Great, and it makes a big change from "Championi'.
You must have a listen.
