Review: The Transatlantic Sessions

I watched this on BBC4 on Friday, wonderful Shetland fiddler called Jenna Reed playing the very beautiful air Hector The Hero [ James Scott Skinner ], along with Aly and the rest.

I'm not a fan of dobros but Jerry Douglas raises it another ten levels, what a superb musician.

On the whole a great programme.

it's Jenna Reid, and yes she is a wonderful and expressive fiddler.

JD has some nice moves. Weird instrument though, it looks like a cheese grater.
