caledon
Bonnie's last tour, CALEDONIA, kicked off its premier season during the Spring of 2007. CALEDONIA brought to the stage the very best of Scotland's music. On fiddle, bagpipes, harp, flute, rhythm, song, poetry, and dance, this project presented music from over four centuries of Scottish culture and history. The exciting roster of talent included Gaelic Singer MAIRI MACINNES from the Isle of Arran in the Hebrides, Cellist, CHRISTINE HANSEN from Glasgow as well as Inverness folk singer, ROY MUNRO. The rest of the CALEDONIA ensemble included Bonnie's favourites: JERRY O'SULLIVAN (Uilleann Pipes) WILLIAM JACKSON (Harp) JOHN DOYLE (Guitar) and MATT BELL (Percussion), ELLEN IRMISCH and SARA LYONS (Dancers).

BBC Radio Scotland has concluded its series "Scotland's Music" to rave reviews. For over a year the BBC ran a series of programs featuring all genres of Scottish music. Prominent Scottish writer and musicologist, DR. JOHN PURSER set the scene for this 50-part radio adventure uncovering the history of the music of Scotland from the Stone Age to present day. Bonnie recorded extensively for the show and her music was featured on several episodes. Now available is Dr. Purser's long awaited second edition of his brilliant book entitled "Scotland's Music" from which the programmes were created. To order, visit http://www.mainstreampublishing.com and see why the GLASGOW HERALD wrote: “The book is a milestone…Anyone interested in any aspect of the nation's musical heritage …..will find enlightenment in this lavishly illustrated book."
