CD A0425: Traditional Spirits

Traditional Spirits
Ailie Robertson

CD cover Award winning clarsach player Ailie Robertson explores whisky making and marries it with our rich culture of traditional music, creating a new composition that ‘paints’ the whisky industry in soundscapes, from barley in the fields to cask and glass. Joining Ailie to blend their sounds and instruments with the world of whisky are seven of Scotland’s finest musicians: Patsy Reid (fiddles), Adam Sutherland (fiddle), Fraser Fifield (whistles/saxophone), James Ross (piano), Mattie Foulds (percussion), Conrad Molleson (double bass), Tom Oakes (guitar).
