Paul Anderson comes from Tarland on the eastern edge of the Cairngorms National Park in Aberdeenshire and is one of Scotland's most respected traditional musicians, composers, and teachers. Iona is the latest album released by fiddle maestro Paul Anderson and features music from 'In The Footsteps Of Colm Cille'. All music was composed by Paul Anderson including the music and lyrics for 'Pull For Iona' and 'Light Of The West.' Iona is a special place; few can rival it for scenic beauty, a sense of spirituality, and the undeniable weight of history which seems to seep from its very bones. Paul Anderson always sought out solitude when on Iona and has always been drawn to the quieter, harder to get to places where he can tap into something intangible and attempt to turn the moment and emotion into music.
