Composed with long-time friends, harpist Catriona McKay and Shetland fiddler Chris Stout, in mind, One Great Circle is inspired by the Aberdeen-born storyteller, ballad singer, author, piper and member of a prominent traveller family, Stanley Robertson.

Although Fifield never met Robertson, who died in 2009, the two have Aberdeenshire roots and an upbringing in the piping tradition in common. Fifield is also sympathetic to many of Robertson’s thoughts on reincarnation, to which the album title refers.

The titles of the 9 tracks are drawn from many interviews with Stanley Robertson available on the archival website, Tobar an Dualchais.
