Love and Loss, more fully known as Love and Loss: Remembering Martyn Bennett in Scotland's Music, is an EP length release of recordings made by Martyn Bennett in association with his mother Margaret Bennett.

Recording

[edit]

It was released in 2008 in memory of Martyn Bennett, who had died three years before. Fhir an Fhuilt Dhuinn, were Gaelic verse lyrics composed by Martyn's grandmother Peigi Stiùbhart, to go with the traditional lament Cumha na Cloinne. These were written in response to Margaret singing Cumha na Cloinne on Phil Cunningham's Scotland's Music programme in 2007.[1]

Proceeds from the recording went to the Martyn Bennett Memorial Scholarship Fund at the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland.
