Since recording this her first album as an LP in 1985 Savourna has recorded more than half a dozen albums Ð several with rock and jazz musicians Ð and, while identifying strongly with her Scottish roots, she continues to break through stylistic barriers between traditional, world music, blues, jazz and classical.

Two of the pieces on this album Ð Tickled Pink and Jalan are in a contemporary idiom and demonstrate the potential of the instrument beyond traditional music.
