In this album we start with a dance favourite, 'Strip the Willow', but this time in true ceilidh style. We're giving you a chance to catch your breath between dances and listen to the playing of the younger members of the band and the band's guests.

We have three young fiddle players from Aberfoyle and all medal winners at the Mod, two excellent clarsach (Celtic Harp) players from Callander and Achiltibuie, and also contributions from our producer Brian McAlpine on keyboards and the studio engineer on guitar.

We hope you enjoy listening to this album as much as we enjoyed making it.
