FAILTE: Tunes From The Heart
Released: June 2011

Tunes From the Heart features many of the Island’s great performers and accompanists. In his foreword in the James Hunter Book, “The Fiddle Music of Scotland”, the famous Yehudi Menuhen, saluting the Scottish Fiddler states: "their music knows no detour – it goes straight to the feet if dance we must, to our eyes if cry we must and always to our hearts evoking every shade of joy, sorrow or contentment."
