AIDAN O’Rourke plays fiddle for folk group Blazin’ Fiddles and alongside Kris Drever and Martin Green, in the acclaimed trio Lau.
Inspired by the Isle of Mull, his new album celebrates the tenth anniversary of An Tobar, the Tobermory Arts Centre. With poetry written for the project by award-winning writer Aonghas MacNeacail, the music reflects on the origins of communities on Mull and the effect of modern times on the island. It was composed during a residency in Tobermory.
Playing alongside O’Rourke are Catriona McKay on Scottish harp (Fiddler’s Bid), Phil Bancroft on saxophone (Unusual Suspects), Martin Green on accordion (Lau) and percussionist Martin O’Neill. An Tobar is a challenging and imaginative work that crosses musical boundaries.
