Current Recording - Fraser Speirs & Friends "...About Time"
„ ... the debut album by highly respected harmonica player Fraser Speirs.  Recorded live at Glasgow's Celtic Connections in January 2000, it not only showcases the talents of a fine musician, it also features several of the musicians he has worked with successfully over the years....... his harp playing is always intuitive, but he is equally aware of every other musician.  Following the recent death of Larry Adler, a national broadsheet newspaper invited its readers to name the greatest living harmonica player. Fraser's was one of the names put forward - a fitting tribute to the sheer brilliance of his playing. More CD
