Description
Naked And Bare is another cracking album from Shetland's fiddling folk band Fiddlers' Bid. Possibly their best recording yet, with strong fiddle overlaying the piano, bass, guitar and harp. "If they don't sweep you away, check your pulse".
"Great listening and great toe-tapping". Scots Magazine.
