Christine Primrose- Gradh is Gonadh - Guth ag aithris (Love and Loss - A Lone Voice)
Grà dh is Gonadh Guth ag aithris' (Love and Loss A Lone Voice) is the powerful 2017 album of pure and unaccompanied traditional Scottish Gaelic songs by Christine Primrose, widely recognized and acknowledged as one of the great singers of her generation. Over three decades on from her groundbreaking debut, the cultural landscape and personal timing is right for this recording of clarity, poignancy and depth from a remarkable and mature voice.
