Alison Kinnaird and Christine Primrose are already well-known as outstanding solo performers in their respective fields of traditional Scottish harp and Gaelic song and their performances have also won acclaim worldwide as a duo. This recording captures Christine's beautiful voice, with its effortless traditional style, accompanied by Alison's sensitive harp playing and chorus vocals, in a way which supports the character of the singing and adds an extra dimension to the music. Their repertoire includes love songs, laments and descriptive pieces, as well as lively dance music.
