about
My Love I Miss Her So (comp. Peter Ostroushko)
Dodging the Frogs (comp. Hewat)
The Rizla (comp. Charlie McKerron)
I heard Peter Ostroushko’s tune played in the Arran Folk Festival by Deiseal back in the days when I was in Seannachie. The tune has stayed with me ever since. I like it. And he really must miss her.
Dodging was written after an extremely hairy drive on the Isle of Skye, heading down the single-track road to Sabhal Mor Ostaig in the middle of the night. The frogs were out - thousands and thousands of them all over the road, everywhere! All doing their own thing. Luckily, I was driving a teeny-weeny hired Cinquecento, so was able to drive around them all. Being a vegetarian, this is important to me, you understand.
One sunny afternoon, Mary Macmaster and I shared some tunes together in her yellow musicroom. She taught me this great tune by Mr McKerron, and it just so happens I have a rizla trick or two, learnt from a juggler during the Durham Summer School week a couple of years ago. Ah, the joys of being a touring musician. And having a party trick.

Rachel is a unique music essence. Her music and voice touch me really deep. I lived in Scotland for 2 years and she is able to bring me back there with her music. Rachel is a wonderful gift to the world.
