Margaret Stewart and Allan MacDonald - Fhuair Mi Pog
Margaret Stewart is a great traditional singer - a native Gaelic speaker whose singing is steeped in the rhythms of the language. Allan MacDonald is an expert piper (one of the famous Glenuig piping MacDonald brothers) as well as a fine singer. The success of this collaboration - and the pipes sit well with the ornate Lewis singing style - may say something about the past but certainly points the way to future possibilities. Terrific entertainment with lovely singing and great tunes, some of the best written by Allan MacDonald himself.
