 It’s About Time, is Calum’s first recording. Over the last few years, Calum’s collaboration with Muriel Johnstone in playing for Scottish Country Dances, led to their decision in 2003 to produce a CD of tunes they enjoyed in common. The result is this compilation of tunes old and new. Some sets are from a particular period and style and some span hundreds of years and thousands of miles.They include ancient Gaelic melodies, the fiddle music of 18th Century Edinburgh, driving reels from Scotland and Canada and recent compositions by both Calum and Muriel. Muriel and Calum are joined by Judith Peacock-Cummings, clàrsach, Ralph Gordon, bass, and Germaine Morgan, cello. The fine analogue recording and mixing was done in the superb Sage Arts Studio in Arlington, Washington State.
