Had a great gig with Rachel Sermanni in Oran Mor, Glasgow, on friday evening. Here is a video of me playing with Rachel and the girls at St Pancras train station in London last month. (It was very cold!)

I have a new camera! I have come over to the dark side and have bought a digital SLR, Canon 5D ii to be exact. I need to get a memory card and sort myself out with lenses but I am excited to have a go with it! I still intend to use film but thought this would give me a few more options.

Fiere is due for release on the 28th May. I took took photos of the girls last year and put the artwork together for this collaborative album between Gaelic singer Joy Dunlop and harp (Esther Swift) and fiddle (Catriona Price from Orkney) duo Twelfth Day. We had a great time taking the photos (despite a near-disaster with a broken-down car at the start of the day!) and I’m really pleased with how it looks. It is available to pre-order now here.

The Duplets launch their album ‘Leverage’ today! I took photos for the Scottish harp duo, Gillian Fleetwood and Fraya Thomsen and the fantastic Jessica Ashman put the artwork together. Buy the album here.

I played fiddle on the track in this trailer which was arranged by the talented Richy Carey
