Enjoy the Music, Dance and Song of Road to the Isles at home:
Road to the Isles celebrates the bond between the Irish and Scottish people, historic cousins who share much in their musical traditions. Their recordings seek to entwine, rather than blend, the two traditions, and transport the listener homeward, back to the music's sources.
