Also on DVD, this is the Scots bagrockers in full flight in Glasgow's Old Fruitmarket. The purists may wince, but this combination of informal kilted Highland pipers fronting a rock-band line-up has caught the international public's imagination. With top piper Stuart Cassells leading the chanters, a punchy horn section, strong percussion, reworkings of Deep Purple, AC/DC, Queen and Coldplay amid the more traditional tunes, they make a unique, celebratory sound you can't ignore. Two bonus tracks include Massive Attack's 'Teardrop', and their hope for a Christmas hit with 'The Little Drummer Boy'.
