"WAY OUT TO HOPE STREET"
Culburnie Records
Dawn Dance, the acclaimed album by the fiddle master Alasdair Fraser, featured several virtuoso instrumentalists. The great experience had to continue so they joined and formed the band Skyedance. They are Alasdair Fraser (fiddle and viola), Chris Norman (wooden flute), Mick Linden (fretless bass), Paul Machlis (piano and keyboards), Eric Rigler (Scottish and Irish bagpipes) and Peter Maund (percussion). The six member group toured several times in Spain and also in USA. Then, they decided to record their first CD, this Way Out to Hope Street, a really marvelous example of what modern Celtic music can offer. Thirteen pieces have been composed by the group and one more is a new version of a medley originally recorded by Fraser and Machlis in 1986 (traditional dance tunes). The album and the group are receiving a lot of interest because several of its members have performed on the hit films Titanic, Bravehart and The Last of Mohicans. But they don't need to appear in any film credits to show what great musicians they are. Simply, listen to this CD and then you will know! And don't forget the last track, "Bannockburn": it is probably one of the best modern Celtic melodies.
