Brian Ó hEadhra - An t-Allt

Picture
Brian launched his second solo album “An t-Allt” on the Brechin All Records early 2011. An t-Allt (Scottish Gaelic for ‘burn’ or ‘stream’) consists of songs written by Brian in Scottish Gaelic and English as well as a mixture of traditional and contemporary songs from Scotland and Ireland.

An t-Allt was recorded by Richard Werner (B&B Studios) in Edinburgh and has some of the country’s finest musicians and singers accompanying Brian including Sandy Brechin (accordion), Chris Agnew (bass), and Fionnag NicChoinnich (vocals), Pat McGarvey (5 string banjo).
​
As well as Brian’s own compositions, the album has a song by Fiona Mackenzie, Richard Thompson’s “Dimming of the Day” in Gaelic, two Irish traditional songs translated into Scottish Gaelic, and finally two traditional Scottish Gaelic songs.
An t-Allt CD can be purchased from the Brechin All Records website here.
