Mittens for Christmas finds Kirkmount performing a total of 14 holiday-themed songs, many of them medleys. Most of the compositions are rather untraditional, which makes this album quite unique with its many idiosyncratic songs. The band features Alex Bigney on harp and bones, Samuel Bigney on fiddle, and Simeon Bigney on bodhran and cello. Admirers of Kirkmount will find this album to be a festive addition to their holidays. © Jason Birchmeier
