I've just spent a week attending the Alasdair Fraser Fiddle School in Glasgow. Great Stuff. In general I prefer his solo work to the Skyedance albums, but I have to add that the latest album, Skyedance in Spain, is absolutely superb.
They're doing a concert here on Sunday night along with all the Spanish musicians who supported them on the tour and appeared on the album. It should be spectacular.
