One Great Circle

By Fraser Fifield

One Great Circle

Fraser Fifield continues his trilogy of recordings in trio settings featuring his low whistle with One Great Circle.

Special guests are the acclaimed string duo, fiddler Chris Stout and harpist Catriona McKay.

The 9 tracks are inspired by interviews with the Aberdeen-born storyteller, ballad singer, author, piper and member of a prominent traveller family, Stanley Robertson, whose supernatural accounts can be heard on www.tobarandualchais.co.uk

The trio of Chris, Catriona and Fraser is really something of a reunion given the three first met, forming friendships, during their music-student days in mid-1990's Glasgow. The 9 tracks of One Great Circle were recorded as live over one productive day in the same city, with engineer Keir Long, almost 30 years later, in November 2023.
