The Garden
(Hadley, O'Brien & Olney)

Swaying from our signature Scottish style for a moment, we explore a song by country and bluegrass musician Tim O’Brien. In this song of unrequited love and longing, we cast our own musical spin in a style influenced by gypsy jazz with just the tiniest hint of Klezmer.

Donald Ross of Vancouver / New Year in Noosa / Thunderhead
(D. Morrison / M. Blair / G. Larsen)

Starting in Canada with the haunting melody Donald Ross of Vancouver, we explore a rather unique duet – Scottish smallpipes and French horn! We then travel to Australia with a tune from Murray Blair. Our journey then takes us to the US, home of composer Grey Larsen, one of America's leading Irish flute players.


Donald Ross & the jigs

Ca' the Yowes tae the Knowes / My Home Town
(Trad., lyrics Burns / J. MacLellan)

This track includes music from both countries we call home. Ca' the Yowes was written by Scotland's immortal bard Robert Burns. It tells of calling the yowes (sheep) back to the fold in the evening, amongst other whimsical notions. John MacLellan's tune My Home Town draws us to reminisce about our home town, Melbourne.


Ca' the yowes

Combining stunning fiddle playing, the refined and inspiring sounds of the pipes, stirring vocals and harmonies, beautiful harp & driven guitar playing, and melodiously wicked cello.
