Soul Food

To the best of my knowledge there isn´t a Scottish or Irish bone in my body... but if anyone asked me what I think of when I pine for the ´old country´ it would have to be one of those places. So, I treated myself to a magnificent concert yesterday as Alasdair Fraiser and Natilie Hass played in Gibsons BC.

I don´t go to concerts very oftin - but when something like this turns up, you don´t miss it. Tickets were only $15 and had I not been Board scanning through our local newspaper for a second time, I probably wouldn´t have even noticed the small ad. Described as "one of the finest fiddle-players Scotland has ever produced" this is not a chance I was going to miss.

It was brilliant!

It was set in a small church and the acoustics were perfect for this kind of music. I´m struck speechless to some extent to even attempt to describe the beauty of it all. The counterpoint between the Fiddle and cello was inspiring and the care each of these two took with respect to each other was lovely.

If you are a fan of music - I encourage you to consider grabbing a copy of the CD (see web sites Below) and better yet, if you can make it to one of their concerts - don´t miss the chance!
