Gráinne Hambly And William Jackson - Music From Ireland Scotland
Review by Cecily Lettice Moore
Gráinne Hambly and William Jackson have come together to create an album that is a true celebration of their Celtic heritage. "Music from Ireland Scotland" is a collection of traditional tunes that showcase the beauty and complexity of the Celtic sound.
The album features a range of instruments, including harp, flute, and whistle, all played with precision and passion. The tracks are a mix of lively jigs and reels, haunting ballads, and soulful slow airs. The duo's arrangements are intricate and thoughtful, with each instrument taking its turn to shine.
One of the standout tracks on the album is "Farewell to Uist," a slow air that is both haunting and beautiful. Hambly's harp playing is particularly stunning on this track, and Jackson's whistle adds a haunting quality to the melody.
Another highlight is "The Musical Priest/The Silver Spear," a set of jigs that are played with incredible energy and skill. The two musicians play off each other perfectly, creating a joyful sound that is impossible not to tap your feet to.
