Jimmy McBeath
Wild Rover No More
Master of the bothy ballad, Jimmy's singing became a major influence on the folk revival of the 1960s. A legendary singer from the days of the feeing markets.
This is the fourth collection of Old Songs and Bothy Ballads recorded at the Fife Traditional Singing Weekend - and perhaps it's the best yet! Great songs, great singers including Gordeanna McCulloch, Elizabeth Stewart, Hector Riddell, Alex Clarke and Jock Duncan.
NEW: September 2007 Gordon Easton: The Last of the Clydesdales
Gordon Easton is from the Blackhills of Tyrie near Fraserburgh, where his family has crofted for generations. He learned many of his old songs from his mother and grandmother and is well-known for his fiddle, jew’s harp and ‘moothie’ playing, not to mention his considerable skills as a ‘diddler’.
Bothy songs and Scottish music have long been a part of life at the Foundry Bar in Arbroath. In 1975 some of the Foundry Bar musicians got together, entered and won the Ceilidh Band competition at the Kinross festival – and so was born 'The Foundry Bar Band'. This, their first album issued as an LP in 1981 - now remastered in CD format has always been a top selling album.
This is the third collection of Old Songs and Bothy Ballads recorded at the Fife Traditional Singing Weekend - the annual gathering of traditional singers that takes place at Collessie in the Howe of Fife. Great songs in great style.
