The Scotsman review of Under One Sky
"a standing ovation underlined just how triumphantly [the Under One Sky concert] fulfilled McCusker's own stated aim, of highlighting the vibrant diversity of styles currently at work within British folk music, and their increasingly fertile relationship with other genres, notably rock and pop"
Tours: Under One Sky with John McCusker, Julie Fowlis and Roddy Woomble
Tue 25th Nov 2008 - Mon 8th Dec 2008
Scottish fiddler and and accomplished producer John McCusker presents an ambitious big folk band performance of new music and song.
First premiered at the Cambridge Folk Festival in 2007 this Tune Up sponsored tour utilizes the myriad of styles currently within folk music and features instrumental arrangements, folk-rock ballads and a new Gaelic lament from Julie Fowlis, who lends her pure precise voice to the Scottish leg of the tour.
The Under One Sky line-up also includes Idlewild front man Roddy Woomble, Iain MacDonald on bagpipes, flute and whistles, guitarist Ian Carr, award-winning musician of the year accordionist Andy Cutting, bassist Ewen Vernal, percussionist James Mackintosh, and Teenage Fanclub member Norman Blake.
A veritable feast of musicians at the top of their craft.
