Farewell To The Highlands (EP)

Farewell to the Highlands is an EP of fiddle music from the making of Kú's recent audiobook The Tale of Déin. The pieces date back to the 19th / early 20th centuries and are thought to be older still (see SOURCES below). The tunes were sourced from 6 different collectors and adapted to the themes of Kú's audiobook, a reimagining of the story of Déin MacCécht, the healer of the Tuatha Dé Dannan. The themes include loss of place, otherworldly magic, abuse of power, betrayal, fierce anger, sorrow, grief and reconciliation. The melancholic title track was with us from the beginning of our manuscript meanderings and has found a home at last.
