Arrrggghhh !!! Good thread people - you've got me laughing
Aye, who says its grim up north?
Goatboy, I know that band 
It's Albannach some of their members used to be Clann an Drumma.
Jamsie's a friend of some of the lads on here
I soaked through a dress with sweat dancing to them at a Galgael ceilidh; it's impossible to stand still
Good people, good music Best caught live, the drums pound through the blood

Hi Mary,
Aye it's Albannach, never caught them live yet but boy do I want too. I think it's how music in the glens used to be, wild and passionate, none of the White Heather Club twee stuff with a glass of sherry. I think anyone whos been to a rural céiligh knows what we're talking about. Like you say, the drums and pipes just fill the blood and soul.
Posted it whilst sharpening a wee sgian dubh from Dreadhead. Don't know if he likes them but he makes me think of them. (Can you imagine them playing at Comrie Croft at a BBUK party?)
Glad you enjoyed,
Colin.
He's a wee fellow too but by heavens he can make music
I think he was a teenager when I first met him.....we were making costume for them.....in a friend's workroom. Big Joe was alive then, and the band was still Clann an Drumma before the split.
I could ask ? I'm sure Andrew and George would be up for it at Comriecroft, and I know Jacquie and could see when/if the band's free?
cheers,
M
No idea what it'd cost though

Suppose it's a bit like Dizzy Gillespie, his cheeks blew up like a bullfrog when he played the trumpet.
Shewie if you like Albannachyou may like Clanadonia too:

There's also a couple of german pipe bands who do similar stuff whose name escapes me at the moment. Can't listen to too much of this as it really gets me going. Can imagine my Norwegian mercenary forebears who were brought over by the McLeods kicking off to music like this - axe weilding maniacs!

Ah Mary, even the thought of that makes me quiver, THAT would be a weekend to remember.
That's Tu-Bardh in Clanadonia, he to used to be Clann an Drumma with Joe and Jacqui and Donnie (the piper).
There's also Saor Patrol, Charlie Allan's band connected with Clanranald Trust.
Oh now, there's an idea
atb,
Mary

Old Sandy McPherson was dying. Tenderly, his wife Maggie knelt by his bedside and asked, 'Anything I can get you, Sandy?'
No reply.
'Have ye no' a last wish, Sandy?'
Faintly, came the answer ... 'A wee bit of yon boiled ham.'
'Wheesht, man,' said Maggie, 'ye ken fine that's for the funeral.'
