Tony Cuffe (vocals, guitar, harmonium, harp, whistle) with Jerry O'Sullivan (uilleann pipes, whistle), Pat O'Gorman (flute), John Skelton (bodhran), Laurel Martin (fiddle), Derek Hoy (fiddle), Jenny Clark (vocals), Norman Chalmers (whistle), Billy Jackson (harp) and other members of Jock Tamson's Bairns.
Singer and guitarist Tony Cuffe was one of the most
distinctive voices of the past three decades,
first in the music and song of his native Scotland,
and later in the Irish music scene of North America.
He played with three seminal bands in the instrumental
wave of the revival and his playing helped pioneer
the transposition of Scots fiddle and pipe music to the
guitar. He was a great performer, an inspiring teacher,
and much loved by his family, friends and those who heard
him.
"With his native feeling for the emotive power of the
words, his sensitivity to the aching beauty of the airs
and his unfailing ability to mell guitar and voice in a
creative whole, Tony graced the Scots tradition with
songs which, in the brilliance of his interpretation,
he made entirely his own."
Billy Kay
"Tony's guitar playing continues to fire the imagination. His playing of fiddle and bagpipe tunes is entirely within the idiom he loved yet wholly new. His stand alone fingerstyle arrangements will always be a landmark in the instrumental music of Scotland."
Tony McManus
'Sae Will We Yet' - the CD
Comprising mainly previously unreleased material from
private, concert and studio recordings, this disc has at
its heart tracks from a projected solo album of Scottish
and Irish love songs.
