Glasven, released 2009

(TCR 001)   

The first TCR musical project, Glasven is a Scottish Highland place name, meaning a grey/green-blue/green mountain, in the wilds of the Scottish countryside.  This album evokes a timeless mixture of sounds, images and feelings, redolent of mossy mountains, peat and heather, lochs and glens, misty mornings, a cosy fireside at the gloaming, and  love songs of Robert Burns. 

True to the spirit of traditional Scottish music

Inspired by traditional music, old ballads, folklore and legends, storytellers and their tales, history, books, nature, landscapes of the Scottish Highlands and islands, rural England...

The new album 'North Sea' is being recorded at this time, news on this soon!
