Similar to music from America, this music comes from borrowed and original sources - from listening to friends from around the world that Barry has played music with for many years, from researching his Irish, Scottish, English and Welsh roots, and from simply and basically loving Music.

These tunes, compositions, and arrangements were made while Barry was living and traveling in England, Scotland, Ireland, Wales, India (and even exotic California!) for some months spanning 2006-2007. At this time Barry was also transcribing new music from his teacher, Ravi Shankar, arranging a duo concert with Olov Johansson (of Våsen), and playing with local musicians in the countries he visited, including long-time friends Martin Simpson, Sarah-Jane Summers, and Anoushka Shankar. Combining these experiences, and having played “folk cello” for a very long time - this album is the musical result of all these things.
