A striking reconnection with the past, as Carter revives the Jones songbook and does the singer proud.
Seuras Og
"Well, what sort of music do you like, Seuras?" Ever since that question was first aired by his mother a decade or six back he has struggled with the answer. And struggles still now.

Chamber dubh from Skye, with elements of folk and electronica dipping between the expansive wide open Island spaces. Another winner from the Clan Chaimbeul.
