Hello & Goodbye by Susan Worland Bentley

Scottish Music for Listening & Dancing - with guest musicians Michael Bentley, Renata Bratt, Andy Imbrie, Gary Innes, Calli Morrow, Etienne Ozorak, Lyle Ramshaw

Lyrical harp and fiddle duets, toe-tapping jigs and reels, glorious strathspeys from Scotland's 18th century composers, traditional tunes along with several written in the 21st century. There is something for everyone here, whether you're a country dancer, a country dance teacher, an iPod listener, or a CD-while-driving lover of Celtic music!

Susan Worland Bentley is an award-winning fiddler in the Scottish tradition. She regularly plays for Scottish country dance events on both coasts and in Canada. Drawing on her classical training, she also spins lovely sounds for quieter listening.

Susan has appeared on many Scottish music recordings, with the bands Tullochgorum and Reel of Seven, and with Red Thistle Music and the Bayside and Benside Ensemble. This combined listening and dancing CD is her first solo recording.

Red Thistle Music was founded as a house band for the Red Thistle Dancers, and consists of Susan Worland Bentley (violin), Lyle Ramshaw (piano) and Michael Bentley (bodhrán & percussion). The trio has played together for over 10 years, most often for dancing.
