Ross Ainslie announces new album

Ross Ainslie is one of Scotland’s finest traditional musicians and composers, playing pipes, whistles and cittern.

He is renowned for his highly acclaimed solo material, and as a skilled performer and prolific collaborator, performing regularly with bands such as Treacherous Orchestra –of which he is a founding member – Salsa Celtica, Dougie Maclean, Charlie Mckerron, India Alba, and as a duo with Jarlath Henderson.!

He has also received industry recognition, for his talents, with nominations for Musician of the Year at BBC Radio 2 Folk Awards in 2013 and again, as Best Duo (with Jarlath Henderson), in 2014. He was also nominated for Best Instrumentalist at the Scots Trad Music Awards in 2010 and 2012 and again for Album of the Year for his debut solo album Wide Open in 2013, as well as nominations in Best Live Act category with Jarlath Henderson in 2008, and with Treacherous Orchestra in 2009 and 2010.

Remembering features five songs and three tune sets. The album opens with the song ‘Change’ which reflects on Ross’s drinking days and his decision to “go sober”. Remembering is a very open, honest piece of music!

The album was recorded live, with some wonderful musicians, at TPot studios, Path of Condie, Dunning.
