Bassic - I'm not a cellist. Love that instrument, though. I play fiddle and sing chanteys.

Sorcha - that cellist who toured with De Dannan back in '87 is Caroline Lavelle. At that time, they had just released their record titled "Ballroom," but I haven't heard it in years and don't remember if Ms Lavelle is on that, or if she joined up with the band after.

Fin - Natalie Haas is not yet on an Alasdair Fraser recording, but word is out that she will be on his forthcoming one. No release date yet.
