This was Dick Gaughan's first solo album for several years. It is long overdue but certainly worth waiting for and in our opinion quite stunning.
The album contains eleven songs, chosen with care and quietly recorded in Edinburgh during March and April 1996.
Session musicians chosen by Dick include:
Patsy Seddon & Mary McMaster (harps & backing vocals): Rab Handleigh (keyboard & piano); Fred Morrison (pipes); Alan Thomson (bass); Mike Travis & John Henderson (drums); Dick plays accoustic and electric guitars.
