Wow - beautiful playing! All sorts of cheekiness hidden within too - especially at 4.55 and 5.07! I could listen all night.

[SausageKnowlesy]

I don’t play any instruments but I think I can tell not many people can play like that. Hats off to you sir 🤠

[MrBrenf]

Fantastic. Benedict is playing the Traditude Festival, Ferbane, Ireland on Sun 30th of June along with Cormac Crummy. I can't wait to see them.

Incredible. That shifting! And he kept throwing in surprises that worked! Like the tune choice, in minors and majors?? I love it when music goes different way than you expect but that totally suits it :D well done!

sad reflection on the state of traditional music in scotland - very little traditional about this playing.
