Notes
Nick Keir takes time out from the McCalmans to produce a though-provoking album of self-penned songs. Much of the material has Edinburgh as its backdrop, and the lyrics have a keen sense of place, of history and sometimes of magic. Nick is joined by ex Finn mac Cuill colleague Madelaine Taylor on backing vocals, John Martin (Tannahill Weavers) on fiddle and viola, Martin Talbot (Kiss of the Gypsy) on Bass, trumpeter Victor Poots, Susie Malcolm and the late Derek Moffat.
