i cried at aye

su and i headed west tonight to meet trina and jon at "aye - an affirmation of martyn bennett" a concert celebrating the life and work of martyn bennett. martyn was a richly talented scottish musician who was taken from us in his prime, following a long struggle with cancer.

some lovely music and very glad to hear it played live by mr mcfalls chamber with the help of fraser fifield, tom bancroft and james mackintosh. fiddles and pipes rock! as do violas, cellos, pianos, basses and twin percussionists. i shed a few tears in martyn's memory.

check out some of the media and downloads on the martyn bennett website. those new to his music might to try move first - a flash video for a track from his stunning final album, grit.
