Well-known Scottish and Irish tunes given unusual arrangements for low whistle, guitar, fiddle, accordion and string quartet. Amazing Grace without Pipes and Drums sounds so different!
"For lovers of these traditional tunes, a new take on how they sound". Scots Magazine.
Celtic whistle, penny whistle, tin whistle…call it what you will, this wee metal tube is an instrument of great versatility and an immensely long history. Phil Brown is a master of the whistle, which he plays in many styles, but no style is more fitting to the instrument than that of the Celtic folk tradition.
On this album Phil plays a collection of well-loved Scottish and Irish ballads, showing the melodious and haunting qualities of the whistle to great effect. Joining him, on some tracks are fiddle, guitar, accordion, and a luscious string quartet.
