While on a Hebridean road trip, Johnny decides to stay a little longer on the Isle of Lewis to catch Còig performing at Stornoway’s arts centre, An Lanntair. While the Canadian four-piece from Cape Breton are new to him he’s glad he stuck around.
Ashlar is a solid and satisfying listen and a very good example of quality Cape Breton Celtic that you’ll want to revisit. Yes, they most definitely are “one of Atlantic Canada’s most exciting Celtic traditional groups.”
