Hilary de Vries is a Scottish composer who writes mainly for harp, smallpipes and voice. She has collaborated with poets on music and song, and previously published a collection of tunes, The Buzzard & the Crow.

Bill Taylor is a specialist in the performance of ancient harp music from Ireland, Scotland and Wales, and is one of very few players investigating these repertoires on medieval gut-strung harps, wire-strung clarsachs and Renaissance harps with buzzing bray pins. Bill teaches in the Highlands and works with Ardival Harps in Strathpeffer. He performs and records as a soloist and with several ensembles, including Canty, Graindelavoix, Quadrivium and Sinfonye.
