I’m not overly fond of the piano in folk music, nor is piano jazz my first choice of listening, so I was surprised and then delighted to find myself thoroughly enjoying the debut album by the Mhairi Hall Trio. Mhairi was raised in Aviemore, in the heart of the Cairngorms, and the record sets out to evoke the... read more | | | |
