Songs and ballads recorded at the Fife Traditional Singing Festival in May 2005. This was the third year of the event - a gathering of many of Scotland's finest exponents of the art held at the Fife Animal Park in Collessie, Fife. (v2)
The album opens with Joe Aitken of Kirriemuir singing the majestic north-east bothy ballad The Hairst o Rettie. Other songs include Ythanside from Jock Duncan, the ancient murder ballad of the Cruel Mother from Elizabeth Stewart and Stanley Robertson's version of When I Wis New But Sweet Sixteen. Norman Kennedy, the internationally renowned traditional singer originally from Aberdeen was a special guest at the event from his home in Vermont in the USA and here he sings the classic Scots ballad of Binnorie and the infamous Aberdeen song The Castlegate. The tyneside singer Louis Killen, recently returned to our shores after many years as a professional folk singer in the USA, sings the great nautical ballad Bold Princess Royal.
