Miller, Jo

A' The Way To Galloway

This is an album of traditional songs and tunes from a part of Scotland whose music deserves wider recognition. Most tracks have a connection to the uplands of the Glenkens, having been learned directly from individuals, or drawn from historical sources. There are also my own settings of two local poems, and two tunes recently composed for notable inhabitants of the district. Singer and fiddler Jo Miller leads a group of fine musicians with close connections to the area: Dalry fiddler Amy Geddes, Wigtownshire singer Robyn Stapleton, Jo's son Neil Sutcliffe on piano, concertina and accordion, and her husband Steve Sutcliffe on bass concertina. Together, they perform older repertoire including Braes o along with more recent compositions such as Buchts o Knockreoch about a local sheep clipping.
