Alasdair Fraser

"Scots Trad album of The Year" - 2004

The fiddle is well-known as one of the foremost instruments of Scottish music; this album will re-in-state the cello as the fiddle’s inseperable rhythmic and tuneful companion. Natalie has been playing the cello under Alasdair’s guidance for six years, and the two of them bring back the old style of string power to Scottish music – driving rhythms, melodic nuance and rich harmonies.
