Album Notes

Ado Matheson - Celtic Singer Songwriter

Ado was brought up on the Isle of Lewis in the Western Isles of Scotland. His father was a Gaelic Singer and Songwriter before him performing at concerts and ceilidhs throughout Scotland and his grandfather was crowned the Celtic Bard in recognition of his writing in the 50's.

Ado has just completed 'Out on the Islands' a CD of his own material which he recorded mostly with his son Hans on percussion and backing vocals. Their voices blend together in true 'genetic harmony'.

The songs are an original collection of vivid memories, dreams and reflections inspired by the powerful images and emotions of his homeland. Often described as 'singing gaelic in english' Ado is a passionate performer and his music touches the heart of humankind - 'deeply personal and universally poetic'.

It took me just a few bars of Harvest Time to fall completely in love with this cd. It touches my soul with every chord. The voices of Ado and Hans blend so beautifully. I listen to this cd everywhere i go, work , car, shower, i can't stop listening to it. Can't wait for the opportunity to hear more from this wonderful talent.

This is one of the most beautiful CDs I have ever had the pleasure of listening to. Each song is so personal and true to his roots. Ado's voice is so relaxing and Hans' vocals compliment completely but are definitely backing vocals as wanted. 'Wings on the Water' is instrumental but is definitely my favourite on the album, it really does make you feel as if you are away in one of the most beautiful places. I can't recommend this CD high enough.
