about

"This album breathes Scotland - but not in the picture postcard kind of style. It isn't a glossy tourist brochure that pangs your eye with colours technically enhanced. It is a piece of a the real Scotland with its old traditions finding a footing in a modern world, This is the Scotland Stephen sings, and he does so with great respect and love for the songs, which are the patchwork of his cultural inheritance."
Pernille Rutzou (The Living Tradition) 2008

A big thank you to Ian McCalman who recorded the album at Kevock Digital. He also played on the CD, arranged harmonies, took photos, told me when I hit a flat note, made coffee...oh yeah and he also wrote some of the great songs on the album. Also to John Slavin at www.designfolk.com for the artwork and help with the CD manufacturing. Finally to Pernille for all her help in collating the song lyrics.
