Ethan Gillespie - Elegy for Martyn Bennett (Live)
Recorded live at the Queen's Hall, Edinburgh in March 2019. "I was deeply moved by a Martyn Bennett quote that said "It's not how much time you have, it's what you do with the time that matters." and decided to write my own tribute to Martyn. It takes traditional sounding themes and develops them in harmonically and rhythmically different ways." (Ethan Gillespie, March 2019) ℗ Ethan Gillespie 2019
About Martyn Bennett
Martyn Bennett was a Canadian-Scottish musician who was influential in the evolution of modern Celtic fusion, a blending of traditional Celtic and modern music. He was a piper, violinist, composer and producer. Diagnosis of serious illness at the age of thirty curtailed his live performances, although he completed a further two albums in the studio. He died from cancer in 2005, fifteen months after the release of his fifth album Grit.
