Farewell To Eriskay
Introducing Anne MacDonald, sister of Eriskay Lilt’s Don MacDonald, this CD single features 4 outstanding tracks of traditional music. The title track was composed by Anne for her mother, and after several requests for it to be recorded, here we have the final superb result.

Not to be left out, one of Don’s compositions gets an airing too! The beautifully haunting Nettie of Burnside Cottage, Eriskay was also composed in honour of their mother.

The fine music is rounded off with a Gaelic version of Scotland’s favourite, “Flower of Scotland” and two tunes which were favourites of Anne and Don’s late father.

With the usual high quality backing from Scotland’s finest musicians, this is another great recording to add to your collection.

Running time: 11 mins approx.
