Master songsmith, consummate interpreter and the renowned voice of Silly Wizard, Andy M. Stewart returns to the spotlight with a stunning album, Man In The Moon. Featuring Wizard bandmate Phil Cunningham on accordion, keyboards and whistles, Patrick Street’s Gerry O’Beirne on guitars and Maire Breatnach of Waterboys fame on fiddle and viola, the album is one of traditional beauty coupled with contemporary artistry. Man In The Moon takes the listener on an emotional journey, from the title track’s compelling connection between the human spirit, the land, and the seasons, to the politically poignant Listen To the People, to the bizarre and whimsical tale The Errant Apprentice. Add to these original compositions Andy’s beautiful interpretations of traditional songs: The Echo Mocks The Corncrake and Land O The Leal. Man In The Moon -- another masterwork by one of Scotland’s greatest artists.
