Six years on from Hamish Henderson's death, Edinburgh Folk Club continues to celebrate the great song collector, folklorist and poet's legacy in a way that would have cheered him, Friday's concert being an apt illustration of his phrase "the carrying stream" denoting traditional music's baton being picked up and passed on by succeeding generations.

Six years on from Hamish Henderson's death, Edinburgh Folk Club continues to celebrate the great song collector, folklorist and poet's legacy in a way that would have cheered him, Friday's concert being an apt illustration of his phrase "the carrying stream" denoting traditional music's baton being picked up and passed on by succeeding generations.

The evening's elder statesman, Archie Fisher, captured this sense of continuity perfectly in a campfire song that looked back to the days of Pete Seeger's early Scottish appearances, fondly noted contemporaries who have gone on to "that Great Sandy Bell's in the sky" and welcomed today's bountiful harvest. Still a masterly guitarist, Fisher delivered a set full of character, astute observations and the horsey recollections of this latter-day mosstrooper-cum-borders balladeer.

Either side of Fisher came two duos of contrasting experience but who are both quite new in their own ways and are both rather lop-sided. Jeana Leslie and Siobhan Miller are attracting considerable attention as folk music's young faces, but their partnership doesn't convince. Miller is a really promising traditional singer but needs to find a sympathetic setting that shows off her talent to its best effect. Similarly, in Sinsheen, there's an awkwardness between Barbara Dymock's natural, earthy delivery and Christine Kydd's stagey stridency. Dymock has only returned to the music relatively recently and it's good to hear her again, attacking Michael Marra's graphic Muggie Sha' with unfettered exuberance and treating the alternative version of Loch Lomond with such tender respect. It could, though, be better still.
