Fantastic grooves from the fabulous Shoogles featuring Angus Grant on fiddle & vocals, Iain MacLeod on mandolin & vocals, Garry Finlayson on banjax, banjo & vocals, Malcolm Crosbie on guitar, vocals & whistling, Conrad Ivitsky on bass & vocals and James Mackintosh on drums, percussion & vocals. Album produced by Jim Sutherland. Terrific musicianship and an amazing ability to build up a set till the whole room can't help swaying!!
This album also won the BBC Radio Scotland /Living Tradition award "Album of the Year - 1994"
