Despite strong influences from Scotland and parts of Scandinavia, music from the Orkney Islands conveys a “quiet, stubborn sense of independence.” In this collection, Allie Windwick and Hugh Inkster perform a repertoire of original compositions and Scottish, Orcadian, Shetland, and Norwegian songs. Windwick is featured on nine tunes playing mandolin, fiddler Inkster on ten. Billy and Ingirid Jolly sing in the local dialect.
