‘Passing Places’ – Mairearad Green

'Passing Places' - Mairearad Green

Passing Places, written for Celtic Connections 2009, takes the form of a musical and filmic journey through the spectacular scenery and cultural riches of the Coigach peninsula, in her native Wester Ross. Also reflecting 2009’s celebration of homecoming, the music’s recurrent motifs and changing themes unfold against a visual backdrop created by Magnus Graham. Green will lead an eight-piece ensemble including Anna Massie (guitar), Peter Tickell (fiddle), Adam Sutherland (fiddle), Adam Bulley (mandolin/banjo), Duncan Lyall (Double Bass), Hamish Napier (piano) and Donald Hay (percussion). "The commission had it all: memorable tunes and exquisite playing, capped off with a wonderfully executed visual backdrop synced perfectly to the music." Barry Gordon, The Scotsman.
