We asked The Outside Track about their album Light Up the Dark.
Light Up the Dark is the 4th album from The Outside Track.
With members from Scotland, Ireland and Canada The Outside Track chose to record ‘Light Up the Dark’ between these countries. The albums songs and tunes, both traditional and modern, are all stamped with The Outside Tracks individual sound. The joy they have playing together is hopefully evident in each and every track.
