The instrumental pairing of Stewart Hardy and Frank McLaughlin is one of traditional musics great examples of cross-Border co-operation. Stewart is
based in the north-east of England, although his fiddle playing could place him as an Aberdeenshire native, and guitarist and piper Frank lives in Edinburgh. Hardy brings a terrific range of colourful expression to his playing, from the gentle, poignant lilt of his slow airs, through the slippery hornpipe bowing and McLaughlin is both an imaginative accompanist and an assured tunesmith, often transferring his pipers phrasing to the guitar strings.
