A new live CD by the band which consists of ten tracks variously recorded at Teatro de Cuidad in Mexico City as part of the Festivale Internationale, Cumbre Tajin adjacent to the ancient Totanec city during the Spring Festival, Barrowlands Ballroom in Glasgow during Celtic Connections Festival, The Second Story Nightclub in Bloomington Indiana, and last but certainly not least, Glenuig Hall
There is a lengthy and very amusing anecdote associated with this tune which I’m sure Angus will let you in on at some time.
2.
Glenuig Hall
Glenuig Hall was the first ever tune written by Luke in Australia.
3.
Arms Dealer’s Daughter
Arms Dealer’s Daughter written in Spain, the title refers back to an earlier encounter in the band’s history, late one night in Frankie Delgado’s wonderful bar “Ca Beleño”, in Oviedo, Asturias.
4.
The Nordal Rumba
Like the Television, the Telephone, Tar macadam, the Macintosh, Penicillin, Whisky and Tequila the Scots also invented the Rumba.
5.
Carboni’s Farewell
Carboni’s Farewell was half written in the front seat of an ancient Holden Kingswood with erratic air-con on the way back from a terrible gig in Albury, Victoria, Australia.
6.
Delighted
She came from Seville. She came from Seville. She came from Seville. She came from Seville. In An-da-lu-thia. In An-da-lu-thia. In An-da-lu-thia. She said she was Delighted, Delight-ed, De-light-ed.
7.
Schumann’s Leap
Schumann’s Leap was inspired by a photograph of the East German Border Guard, Frans Conrad Schumann’s leap over the Barbed wire into West Berlin.
8.
Heading West
Everybody from Elves to Angus seems to head west in order to get home and everybody can get home if they head west for long enough. Unless they live south that is. This was recorded in our home from home out west in the legendary hall in Glenuig.
9.
A Fistful of Euro
A Fistful of Euro languished nameless for a long time, until Luke came up with the inspired title, musical inspiration coming courtesy of an imaginary jam between Sergio Leone and Eric Satie.
10.
Scraping the Barrel
Scraping the Barrel is what you call something when you have title writing block.
