    Nae Plans Vol.1 The Highland Livingroom - on CD (+ instantaneous digital download of the tracks immediately following your purchase)

    A selection of 12 marvellous live studio recordings recorded in winter 2013.

    www.naeplans.co.uk

    Pianist/vocalist Hamish Napier (Back of The Moon, Man’s Ruin) and fiddler Adam Sutherland (Treacherous Orchestra, Session A9, Croft No. 5) join forces in a new and exciting album project called ‘Nae Plans‘.

    The concept was to record an album that was strictly unrehearsed (the pair barred any discussion between themselves about what tunes they would play or how they would arrange them). The material ranges from traditional songs and tunes, to contemporary numbers, to their own compositions and improv. The recordings capture the duos raw creativity and demonstrates their outstanding musical intuition. The live performances display a kind of electricity and excitement by the off-the-cuff nature and highlight every nuance. Each performance is unique and demonstrates the incredible talent of two of Scotland’s foremost musicians. As they allow themselves the freedom to experiment, ‘Nae Plans’ becomes ‘Nae limits’.

    Beautifully recorded by acclaimed engineer Barry ‘Spad’ Reid, this field-recording consists entirely of first-takes: nae edits, nae overdubs, nae qualms, nae plans, harking back to an older way of recording folk music in the spirit of folklorists such as Alan Lomax. The two folkies draw their inspiration from other musical styles present in their lives, and freely express this. Chaos, raw energy, outrageous risk-taking, delight, joy, aching poignancy and humour – all in abundance in a series of enthralling performances captured in a wee Highland cottage in the depths of winter.

about

Miss Jameson’s Favourite [Charles Grant]

Who was her favourite? What was her favourite?…

Charles Grant (1810-92) was a Fiddler-Composer from Knockando (only a a few hours paddle down the River Spey from Speybridge, Grantown-on-Spey, where Nae Plans was recorded). Charles was a school teacher on Speyside for 30 years. He had been a student of Scottish fiddle legend William Marshall and played at his deathbed. The Marshall family gave him the Maestro’s fiddle in gratitude (1851). He is remembered as a very accomplished fiddler, and legend has it that he was a first class shot, as well as being mad keen on the fishing, possessing a sound knowledge of every pool on the Spey! If his ‘Spey casting’ was as exceptional as his tune writing then its no wonder there are so few salmon left in the River Spey today!

Hamish’s father Peter can be heard thoroughly enjoying the music while sitting enjoying a glass of wine in the control room with Spad at the end of this track.
