The Foundry Bar in the old fishing town of Arbroath had long been a home to local fiddlers and accordionists when, in 1976, Jim Reid gathered together a few of the regular musicians and headed for the Kinross Festival where they entered and won the Ceilidh Band competition. So was born the Foundry Bar Band. Since then the band has played at concerts and ceilidhs, clubs and festivals, village hall dances and weddings throughout the country, and of course they never miss their favourite traditional music festivals at Keith and Auchtermuchty. Here the band come rolling home – home to a quiet ceilidh in one of their regular haunts in the Angus countryside.

The album opens with The Conundrum as part of a march medley. Other tracks include dance sets for Strip the Willow, the Dashing White Sergeant, Broun's Reel and the Gay Gordons. The album also includes the title song Rolling Home sung by Jim Reid, the old favourite All For Me Grog, an old traditional song Row Her in Ma Plaidie from Geordie and Aince Upon A Time from Christine.

Artistes: Jim Reid: vocals, guitar & mouthorgan; Jim Brown, Harry Scott and Jim Thomson: accordions; Geordie Anderson: fiddle and vocals; Christine Stewart: guitar and vocals and Sandy Beattie: double bass.
