Wendy Stewart & Gary West - Hinterlands

Hinterlands by Wendy Stewart and Gary West, pairs two of Scotland`s finest players on two of Scotland`s oldest instruments - the harp and the bagpipes. Wendy and Gary delve into their tradition and deliver a unique blend of song and melody performed with subtlety, skill and panache. Wendy and Gary have been playing together since they met in the 1980s in the Scottish folk group Ceolbeg, one of the leaders in the celtic revival. Wendy explains: ‘We have done a lot of playing together since Ceolbeg days, and have really enjoyed exploring the unique blend between bagpipes and harp.’

Alison and Dave Williams, the heart of the Mellow Candle Prog Folk band, later settled in South Africa for awhile in the late 70's and made this very rare and obscure album. A contemporary take on traditional tunes, different from their previous band, they produced this embarresment of musical riches. It is pure gold!
