Alexander McCall Smith and James Ross - These Are The Hands
An exciting album of new songs and music - words by Alexander McCall Smith, one of the world’s most popular and prolific authors and a poet, and James Ross, who is earning a growing reputation as a composer of music that pushes the boundaries of Scottish traditional music.

The songs are performed by Michelle Burke, who was the lead singer with Irish-American music group Cherish The Ladies, and the gorgeous, peat-smoked tone of Kathleen MacInnes, a Gaelic singer from South Uist of international acclaim, who has been part of Transatlantic Sessions and featured in Ridley Scott’s film Robin Hood.
Session musicians include: Su-a-Lee (cello), Patsy Reid (fiddle), Leo Forde (guitar), Angus Lyon (accordion), Liam Bradley (percussion) and John Kenny (trombone).
