Màiri Morrison and Alasdair Roberts collaborate with Canadian bassist/musical arranger Pete Johnston on a set of traditional songs with Scottish roots collected in Maritime Canada by folklorist Helen Creighton (1899-1989).
Recording in Nova Scotia with Pete and a group of Canadian players, Màiri and Alasdair sing these far-travelled Scots ballads and Gaelic lyrical songs with poignancy yet playfulness, the gravity of exile ever alive in their hearts.
