Two of Scotland’s most revered multi-instrumentalists, Mairearad Green and Anna Massie are back, with their new album 'Doubling' and its 19-date UK launch tour.
This second recording from the award-winning musicians displays formidable technical skill, alongside their trademark playful delivery and out-and-out joy of making music together, altogether showcasing the collective fruits of duo partnership at the highest level.
Featuring Mairearad on accordion, pipes and keyboard, and Anna on guitar, fiddle, mandolin, banjo, tenor guitar and make-shift percussion, 'Doubling' not only demonstrates the pair’s seemingly infinite abilities as musicians, but also as producers and composers.
Mairearad and Anna’s joy of making music together evidently reflects in their live performances, as well as their recorded material. World music and travel magazine Songlines proclaimed, of their debut album, that “the camaraderie and sheer fun of musical collaboration is plainly evident and infectious.”, whilst they have also garnered five-star reviews in The Scotsman, and a fan-base featuring KT Tunstall, who saw them by chance at Glasgow’s Celtic Connections festival in 2012, and took to Twitter to praise the duo; “You guys were killing it…amazing playing!”
