In Memory of Lizzie Higgins In Memory of Lizzie Higgins [Booklet Notes][Reviews] CD and Booklet £18.00 Two CD set and booklet: TCD 337/8 Post free UK UK Only Worldwide In his review, Vic Smith (fROOTS) writes: A rare technical skill combined with an intense emotional involvement ... a stunning use of finely judged ornamentations and triplets ... qualities that make her so outstanding, even among the close-knit families of Aberdeenshire Travellers that have produced so many remarkable traditional singers. Alasdair Maclean in The Scots Magazine writes: The quality shines through throughout this collection, from the tracks of muckle sangs, or songs verging on the muckle, to merry little ditties almost like interludes. A fitting celebration of a gifted traditional singer ... a collection of gems both rough and polished ... a big part of the nation's heritage.
