This is Joe Peter MacLean's (1945-2013) only recording. Brought up in a Gaelic speaking household he was the last person in Cape Breton who was not educated in an English speaking school.

During childhood Joe Peter was surrounded by Gaelic singers, storytellers and fiddlers. The diverse repertoire on his CD reflects that upbring - from ancient song melodies to modern book tunes.

Piano - Janet Cameron & Gordon MacLean.

2nd fiddle Paul Wukitsch.
