After Stirling, I formed a group with Duncan MacGillivray and Christine Martin back in Easter Ross, where I come from. Duncan went on to join the Battlefield Band, and Christine has published a lot of Scottish music books with her company Taigh Na Teud, now based in Skye. Duncan is best known as a piper, but is also very good on guitar, whistle and mouth organ. Christine mostly played fiddle, but later became good on the clarsach.
