Hamish Napier & Su-a Lee in session
Bruce is joined by Hamish Napier and Su-a Lee in session, playing music from Hamish's latest album The Woods. Plus Bruce hears all about Mairearad Green's new project, Hearth.
Following its online launch on the Summer Solstice, Hamish Napier joins Bruce to talk about his album The Woods and its place in his Strathspey Pentalogy. The Woods follows The River and The Railway and is the third album in an epic musical journey that will take a decade to complete. Each album represents one of the classical elements - water, fire, earth, wind and aether - believed to be the building blocks of matter and the natural world by numerous ancient cultures.
Hamish and Scottish Chamber Orchestra cellist Su-a Lee join Bruce live to explore the project, bringing a session of music from The Woods specially recorded for Travelling Folk.
Bruce also has lots of new music to share including the latest project from Mairearad Green - a beautiful collections of five 12" singles inspired by the women and landscapes of Coigach. Bruce catches up with Mairearad to find out more.
