Celtic Music for Cittern and Guitar

Robin Bullock

Robin Bullock - Cittern, 6 & 12 string guitars, Bass guitar, Fiddle

While the cittern and guitar are now accepted, and even necessary, elements in traditional Celtic music, they still tend to be considered backup instruments for the most part, and its rare indeed to hear them featured as lead voices for an entire album (although the work of citternist Gerald Trimble and guitarist Dave MacIsaac, among others, should be noted). On this recording, I have attempted to demonstrate the warmth and intimacy that these instruments are capable of bringing to the music, and perhaps contribute a few of my own ideas to the tradition as well.
