Ports of Call

Alasdair Fraser & Natalie Haas

In cart Not available Out of stock

This album is a mix of original compositions from us both combined with dance tunes from around the North Atlantic - leaving Scotland for a few forays into the fiddle music of Scandinavia, Spain, and France, hence the title, "Ports of Call"! For the most part, we returned to the tried and true duo format in the recording studio; however, we are joined briefly by two special guests, Brittany Haas and Dave Wiesler. We hope you enjoy this, our 5th CD together! - Alasdair & Natalie

    Hi Alasdair, I’ve met you a few times at different venues and also at my father’s (Ferdinand more commonly known as Fred) home in the suburbs north of Montreal. Our fathers were cousins. I first met you in Shelburne, Ontario when you came to participate the Canadian Fiddle Championship. After nearly 40 years I picked up the violin again and will be attending the Skye Fiddle Camp. I look forward to seeing you again and learning more about Scottish Fiddle music.

    Hello Alasdair, My Montanan friend and I are big fans of yours and have seen you in Eugene, Oregon. I'm back on my native soil, England, and he's coming to visit, specifically to seek out and play in trad. scottish folk sessions. Do you have any recommendations for the best pub sessions in Scotland? Or regions reknown for them? We are thinking to start in Glasgow and head up the west coast, but are open to any direction for a good session! Thanks so much, in advance, Chanah

    Hi Alastair. I loved your music last night, but didn’t get a chance to meet you afterwards. I would love to talk to you about your visit to my father, Joseph Rashid, in Nevada City in 2007. It was arranged, I think, by The Union for an article about his violin making. There’s still a YouTube video. Will you be playing in the area again sometime soon?
