    Seriously, it's worth buying. Presented in wartime-themed 6-panel gatefold including track notes, photos and nonsense. There's a sketch of the totally real, yes-it-existed Orkney Monster; some unique insight into the band; a photo of us all asleep; another photo of us all a bit more awake; a semi-amusing—albeit dated—'doctor doctor' joke; and a few references to Orkney's world-famous place-name, Twatt. This is a highly collectable package that should be top of anyone's 'Things I should buy immediately' list.

about

A rollicking set of jigs bookended by Kenny's Fixing George, written for The George Inn, which Kenny's son broke and Kenny had to fix. The Striking Clock was learnt from the playing of Derek Curtis, at the Sunday night Bothy Session, where The Chair was born. The Broon Note by Gavin is a special note found in any key or scale, although you won't find it in any book. It can't be taught and is never played on purpose.

Collectively the sound bursts with the energy of a heavy rock gig—a rampant ruckus of fiddles, banjos, accordions and drums—yet remains acoustic at heart. ... more
