He is inspired by the heritage and nature of his native landscape of Strathspey. His album explores the flora and fauna of Scotland's native forests. It won Album of the Year at the Scots Trad Music Awards and is the third album in his Strathspey Pentalogy - a ambitions project to produce 5-albums in celebration of his homeland, following on from the first two in the series, (for the river Spey) and (for the old Speyside railway line). In this concert Hamish will also share a few of the work-in-progress pieces from forthcoming album no.4, The Hill. Humorous, engaging and heart-warming, Hamish’s performances often incorporate poems and stories about nature, folklore and communities.★★★★★ “Napier has the composer’s gift of painting a picture with sound, more evocative that an artist.
