Simon’s
first CD release since the New Celtic Mandolin in 1998 is a journey
from Dorset via his native Yorkshire to Scotland. This is Simon’s first
album not to include the word ‘mandolin’ in the title. While the
mandolin family features strongly his fiddle and guitar playing come to
the fore in a collection of Scottish folk tunes.
"...folk
record of the year came – late and almost unnoticed – from Simon
Mayor... [it] has everything the discerning listener craves:
thoughtfully mixed material, evocative virtuosity and (from Hilary
James) faultless singing.
The Daily Telegraph
'There
are parts of this CD that set my heart racing, parts that make me laugh
with delight and parts that make me feel wonderfully mellow. I can't
imagine that there's a more entertaining or impressive mandolin player
alive anywhere in the world. I'd love to be proved wrong, but I'm not
sure my heart could stand it.'
Back On The Tracks
'Stunning
performances and arrangements. Mayor's artistry on various members of
the mandolin family, as well as violin and guitar, is breathtaking..'
