Title: The Quiet Tradition
Artist: Alison Kinnaird & Christine Primrose
Category: Traditional Gaelic
Format: CD

Scottish Harp and Gaelic song music performed by Alison Kinnaird and Christine Primrose.

Alison Kinnaird and Christine Primrose are already well-known as outstanding solo performers in their respective fields of traditional Gaelic song and Scottish harp. Christine’s beautiful voice with its effortless traditional style is accompanied by Alison’s sensitive harp playing in a way which does not detract from the character of the singing, but supports it and adds an extra dimension to the music. Their repertoire includes love songs, laments and descriptive pieces, as well as lively dance music.

Alison adds her own voice to some of the songs sung in chorus. Their performances have won acclaim in Scotland and abroad. They have been invited to sing and play in the United States, Canada and Europe, and also teach their art in lectures and workshops on many occasions.

THE SCOTSMAN - ... Another disc which should bring enjoyment to Gaels and non-Gaels alike.

TAPLAS - ... Its one to treasure for ever.
