These two pieces are from a CD called 'Out of the Stones: Music Inspired by the Archaeology and History of Orkney'.

They are played by a 'Stone Age band’ that includes a clay pot drum, a deer bone flute, scallop shells, a frame drum, a hoof shaker, stones and clay whistles.

And there is a piece from ‘The Goddodin’ by the group Bragod, with Mary-Anne Roberts singing and Robert Evans playing lyre.

The CD was devised by Bob Pegg and Bill Taylor. Bob plays 15 different melody and percussion instruments on the CD, and Bill plays four different string instruments. The music ranges over 5500 years, imagining or recreating what and how people created music long ago.
