Birl-esque by Eilidh Shaw and Ross Martin
Recorded at Studio Ostaig on the Isle of Skye in the spring of 2017. We jumped on the ferry from Mallaig in the morning once the kids were off to school, travelling over the Sound of Sleat to get a few hours in at the studio before the ferry back in the afternoon. It was a fairly weather dependant process but excellent fun.

Eilidh Shaw (fiddle and vocals) and Ross Martin (guitar) are probably best known for their work with top traditional bands; Eilidh with The Poozies and latterly Shooglenifty, and Ross with Daimh, although some may recall their 2000s cult folk explosion, Harem Scarem. This dazzling duo seamlessly blur the lines between the traditional and the contemporary with a uniquely mischievous style.
