Dance all night

(5 out of 5 stars)

"Hamnataing is exuberent with old-timer quality fiddling, soundly rooted in the Shetland tradition of the band members, but infused with the energy and creativity of a young generation. Although Fiddlers' Bid uses guitar, bass, and piano accompaniments, allowing many styles of musical influnce to tinge their arrangements, the focus is really on the fiddling, which is gorgeous, relentlessly energetic, and joyfull. Well worth listening to for its own sake, this high-energy album is also an inspiring soundtrack for getting things done, from cleaning your apartment to writing your dissertation."
