From British Columbia in the West to Toronto in the East, the Orchestra received a tumultuous welcome wherever it played. The exuberance and popularity of John Mason MBE and The Scottish Fiddle Orchestra makes this a recording not to be missed.
The Orchestra travelled with soloists Mary Sandeman (mezzo soprano), James Nicol (tenor), Keith Easdale on the pipes, and the great Jim McColl MBE as the master of ceremonies. All were driven along to fantastic performances by the charismatic John Mason MBE, Conductor and Musical Director of the Orchestra and his deputy Andrew McGarva. The Scottish Fiddle Orchestra brought a unique feeling of Scotland to the wonderful people of Canada; so in the words of an old Scottish saying ’Haste Ye Back’.
