The Fraser Mckinnon Ceilidh Band
(Website still under construction)
These music downloads will give you just a wee taster of what we sound like - see further down the page for a youtube video of an early 3-piece line incl Fraser & Gav:-
(1) Hornpipes (for a Canadian Barn Dance, for example)
Hornpipes.mp3
(2) Sometimes we can collar a guest singer (Fiona, in this case)
Fiona Clarke - Over the Sea to Skye.mp3
And here's what we look like:-
Ruth and Robin's Wedding at The Pavilion, Strathpeffer, August 2009
This is band's standard line up - Gav, Aly and Fraser.
