About the Artist
Scottish trio Smithfield Fair brings traditional music of the Scottish Highlands a contemporary freshness. Critics have consistantly praised the group for the spirit of their adaptations of ancient music and the group's ability to weave this effectively with original compositions. Tight vocal harmonies and driving rhythms are created with the use of vocals, guitars, mandolin, accordion, bodhran, bagpipes and percussion. Performances have been labeled "dreamy sojourns into the constantly changing colours and textures of the Scottish Mighlands."
