Graeme Posted February 21, 2006 Report Share Posted February 21, 2006 a futile bump for no-one to reply to ... probably ...Stay cool.

Andy Mulhern Posted February 22, 2006 Author Report Share Posted February 22, 2006 Review from Elizabeth at Footstompin.com of last nights gig in Edinburgh!-----Do try and catch this pair if you can on their current tour. Beautiful playing from both fiddler Jenna Reid and guitar accompanist Kevin last night at Leith FC and much appreciated by the audience. Technically so good, and able to execute a varied and interesting programme which ranged across furious and exciting reels, a Swedish march and an Unst bridal march, and some very beautiful slow airs which included Scott Skinner's Hector the Hero and Willy Hunter's The Love of the Isles. The pair were joined by Shetland fiddler Kevin Henderson (Fiddlers Bid & Boys of the Lough) for the last sets which included the lovely tune 'Michael's Mazurka' - written by Michael Ferrie who was a founder-member of Fiddlers Bid who died at the young age of 21.
