Following on their impressive debut album '[Ex]tradition', The Curious Bards - an early-music ensemble founded by violinist Alix Boivert in 2015 - continue to explore material from the Scottish and Irish folk traditions preserved in 18th-century publications.
This new collection of airs and dances is a chance to discover more of this fascinating repertoire, in which the distinctions between serious music and popular inspiration need no longer apply.
"The musicians' description of this music as 'new treasures waiting to be unearthed' is indeed warranted. After a while a diet of jigs and reels can get a bit samey, but there is also much variety to be savoured, and it's all excellently played, generating the convivial intimacy of performance in a lost age."
