"Kirkmount is composed of three teenage brothers who play in traditional scottish/celtic style. And they are some of the best young traditional players I've heard. The oldest one Alex plays harp next Sam with the fiddle and Simeon on cello. Their playing is excellent. Even without considering their age, I would say their playing is worth listening to, but in light of how young they are, it's incredible. On their first cd: A late summers air, the youngest is only 12! Also they have great original pieces, written by Sam. Some of their slow airs are truly beautiful. They have also won national competions including one on the Prairie Home companion. I definitely recommend this album."
