The Winnowing

Mairi's powerful and moving voice, combined with Dave's eclectic and sympathetic guitar-playing, is a combination that lends new twists to familiar songs and results in refreshing original material. The Cast (Campbell and Francis) have proven that subtlety and restraint are weapons that, when used correctly, are a lethal combination. A regal grace pervades their work and an eye for creating moods and melodic textures remains their ace card. --Rock 'n' Reel Mairi Campbell and Dave Francis are the multi-talented Scottish duo known as The Cast, whose inventive use of vocal and instrumental harmonies brings a fresh approach to the most venerable traditional material. Their classic performance of Robert Burns' beautiful song Auld Lang Syne is the one prominently featured in the blockbuster movie Sex and the City.
