"Margaret One of the major figures of the modern Scottish revival"
— Hamish Henderson

Sunny

In the Sunny Long Ago Nostalgic and sentimental, but with a keen ear for the lithe beauty of some of Scottish trad's song repertoire, Margaret Bennett, native of the Isle of Skye is a throwback to another time. When accordion and fiddle did the two-step and 'Sweet Forget Me Nots' rang from the wireless. Still, this is a lovingly honed collection.  Song lyrics.

‘In the Sunny Long Ago…’ is Margaret’s repertoire and arragements  shared with her son late Martyn Bennett and musicians – Findlay Napier, Gillian Frame, and Hamish Napier
