Christine Primrose - Gun Sireadh, Gun Iarraidh

Select from currently available formats:

A trailblazer who has been singing traditional Gaelic song all her life, this is Christine Primrose's long awaited third album on Temple Records. Christine delivers all the emotions of the songs through two very simple things, the voice and the word. Her voice is clear, pure and dignified. By giving dignity to the words, Christine gives dignity to the language and to the culture out of which these words emerged. By doing that, she does the most precious thing of all, she gives dignity to the people of that language and culture.

On 'Gun Sireadh, Gun Iarraidh' ('Without Seeking, Without Asking'), Christine is accompanied on some of the songs by Alison Kinnaird (Scottish Harp), Duncan MacGillivray (Guitar),Simon Thoumire (Concertina) Alasdair White (Whistle & Fiddle), Iain MacInnes (Scottish Small Pipes).


"Without Seeking, Without Asking is the Skye-based womans third album on Temple, and confirms her as one of our greatest contemporary Gaelic Singers"
