Mairi Armstrong : adding operatic touches to tradition

“Her singing – sweet, high-ranging, flawlessly-phrased – marks
her out as a major musical discovery” (Gerard Dempsey).

albumcover5Mairi Armstrong sings beautifully and flawlessly. There is something sweet about her brogue as she sings highland tunes. The arrangement for her latest album Songs From Elsewhere is lush, brightly orchestrated and artfully crafted. It is something you would like to put on your player as you greet the twilight. There are a couple of happy and heartbreaking songs in the collection. The Scottish tradition is alive in well in the poignant Loch Lomond.
