This album was recorded as an audio companion to the Gabe McVarish Collection of Traditional & Contemporary Melodies from Scotland, Ireland & Maritime Canada.
Recorded in 4 sections, the first section demonstrating Scottish tunes from the Collection with guitar accompaniment from Euan MacPherson, the second with Irish tunes accompanied by Aaron Jones on the cittern and the third exhibiting Maritime Canadian repertoire with Mac Morin playing piano. The fourth section features sets combining tunes from all 3 genres with all 3 accompanists representing their respective styles along with me on the fiddle.
All the tunes on this album are transcribed in the Collection and have been recorded as clearly and accurately (to the transcriptions) as possible. I hope it proves useful to those endeavoring to learn tunes from the Collection and enjoyable as a stand-alone recording for those who aren’t!
Slainte,
-Gabe McVarish

Surprisingly laid back EP given the cover art, but still some fine traditional music from the band. You can't go far wrong with Dàimh. (Eagerly awaiting the bandana!) Oynque
