Claudine Langille --musician, singer and songwriter --is here playing the mandolin. She can be heard on a number of recordings by the now classic band Touchstone, and her current band, “Gypsy Reel”.

Paul MacDonald plays the guitar on this recording, but his involvement in this goes all the way back to the first days of the Fiddletree. Over the years, he has spent many late night sessions in my workshop, tossing the tunes around, and his support has been instrumental in getting this project off the ground. Paul is also a historian of Cape Breton’s musical traditions, and he is a sound recording engineer as well. Paul is responsible for the recording, mixing and production of the CD.
