Scottish Traditions and Culture

A tribute album to the great man featuring a selection of his wonderful songs and poems

Boxes, fiddles, pipes, whistles and song. This album encapsulates the sound of Coigach in the far north west Highlands.

A fine addition to the Tradition Bearers series of recordings from singer fiddler Tom Spiers

With 25 songs - dandling songs, singing games, action songs, and yes! lullabies - this collection, sung by Christina Stewart, features arrangements on traditional instruments by multi-instrumentalist, Bob Pegg; harper, Bill Taylor and fiddle and viola player, Olivia Ross.

The ladies of Bannal sing their rhythmic mesmerising songs as they move the cloth around the 'waulking' board. A reminder of a tradition from the Scottish islands.

Elizabeth Stewart is a ballad singer steeped in the oral traditions of the Travelling People. This double CD features 27 of her finest songs and ballads.

There always has been a thriving tradition of fiddle music on both sides of the Border, and this CD is a fine example of a style of playing often overlooked.

Songs of the Scottish Borders

Following on the successful formula for this series we have another selection of songs from some of the finest ballad singers.

Many of the fifteen songs display the sharp tang of north east humour and you will surely derive much pleasure and amusement in listening to them.
