In the 80's Silly Wizard were the reason for an awakening interest in traditional music at least amongst young Scots who, if they had thought about it at all, would have dismissed it as decidedly uncool. But Silly Wizard had youth and exuberance and demonstrated folk music could be exciting stuff! Their music was fast, furious and stirring and their concerts attracted thousands. Many of today's crop of fine players owe their love of the music to that early introduction. A Glint of Silver is one of the albums from that memorable time when Phil and Johnny Cunningham, Andy M. Stewart, Martin Hadden and Gordon Jones were the kings of celtic music.

Musicians: John Cunningham - fiddles, Phil Cuningham - accordion /keyboards / whistles / vocals, Andy M. Stewart - lead vocals / tenor banjo, Martin Hadden - bass / fretless bass /  guitar, Gordon Jones - guitar / bodhran.
