Description
Acclaimed Highland based Gaelic quartet Cruinn release their second album "Storas" The stunning album features the track nominated for Best Traditional Track for the BBC Radio 2 Folk Awards 2015, Manus Mo Rùin.
The band consists of four well known Gaelic singers who have all built up their own careers as solo singers and as members of other well known music acts. The band are James Graham from Lochinver, Fiona Mackenzie from Lewis, Brian Ó hEadhra from Dublin, and Rachel Walker from Kinlochewe.
The new album is entitled 'Stòras' which means treasure or riches. It was recorded over two weeks in August at Castlesound Studios by Stuart Hamilton and was produced by the band. The album consists of 12 tracks of newly written and traditional Gaelic songs.
The new material is diverse in nature including newly composed songs from Rachel (Òran an t- Slaightear & An Smeòrach), two new songs by Brian (Mairidh ar Gaol & Cèilidh na Bliadhna), a translation of a Norwegian song by Fiona (Led Er Din Sang), and a translation of an Irish song by Brian (Air m' Anam Chan Innsinn Cò i). Songs on the album which Gaelic music enthusiasts might recognise are Gu ma Slà n do na Fearaibh and Griogal Cridhe.
Band member Brian Ó hEadhra states, "We are very proud of this new work. It is important to us that new songs enter into the Gaelic song repertoire. We have enjoyed working out interesting harmonies and arrangements to these songs and feel that this album builds on the sound of our first album which was nominated for Album of the Year at last year's MG ALBA Trad Awards." -
