Listening to Silly Wizard perform live on this CD is a reminder of what a fantastic band they were. Their contemporaries were the legendary Bothy Band and Planxty and when Silly Wizard hit the top they created just as much of a sensation performing all over the world to packed out concert halls. This album is classic Silly Wizard with Andy M Stewart's memorable songs such as The Ramblin' Rover, The Blackbird and The Queen of Argyll mixing it with the startling speed and amazing technical abilities of accordionist Phil Cunningham and brother Johnny on fiddle. Recorded at Sanders Theatre in Cambridge, Massachusetts this is an album for Silly Wizard fans and the rest who heard they were great but never got the chance to catch them.
Phil Cunningham (piano accordion), Johnny Cunningham (fiddle), Andy M. Stewart (banjo, vocals) Gordon Jones (guitar, mandolin bodhran) Martin Hadden (guitar)
