| The idea of this recording transpired
as a result of Andy & Phil playing an acoustic set at a friend’s
wedding. While already recognised as an accomplished fiddle player
and composer, Andy had thoughts about writing music to traditional
Orkney poems, the results of which can be heard here amongst the
ever-popular instrumental tracks. |
Phil plays a variety of instruments
and sings the majority of the songs. In days gone by, local poets
were referred to as Skalds which inspired the album title. |
