An amazing set of tunes to kick of their album. They sure knew how to rock the house using fiddles and bagpipes.
Launched on an unsuspecting world back at Celtic Connections 2003, Scotland’s original and best folk big-band are back in more rambunctious, roof-raising form than ever. The power and glory of their massed fiddles, bagpipes, accordions, whistles and vocals, audaciously orchestrated with harp, piano, a powerhouse rhythm squad and a blistering brass section, transforming Scottish traditional music into a grand-scale fanfare for the 21st century.
“This whirlwind of sound takes Scottish music to unimagined heights!”
