A tribute or a celebration or a voyage of discovery. Whatever you call it, join Ian Robertson (fiddle) & Muriel Johnstone (piano) for a programme of music from four centuries where the common thread is that everything was written for a Robertson or by a Robertson. Music from the great names of the Golden Age of Scottish fiddle music rubs shoulders with 20thcentury classics as well as newly composed tunes from Ian, Muriel & Ian’s son, Tom. From passionate slow airs to the brightest of reels, by way of marches and waltzes, jigs and strathspeys there is something here for listeners and dancers alike.
