There are a couple of well-known Irish tunes with the name Toss the Feathers. This is the other one. Rock 'n' Roll!

An Irish emigration song. Some such are related to escaping the Great Famine, or British oppression. This song is the story of a young man off on an adventure to America.

Here's our take on what would happen if the Tijuana Brass were invited by accident to play at a Scottish céilí. The tunes in the arrangement are Gillie Callam Da Pheitheir and O! She's Comical.

Forget the title. You are entering another place. . .a place where time has no meaning. . . you are sitting on a cliff overlooking the ocean. . .a view as ancient as the world itself.

We've been doing this set since the beginning, and finally recorded it. Jeez, mon! A sailor says goodbye to his shipmates and heads landside for some new adventures. The tune in the second section is Rakish Paddy

The title of this set comes from taking a couple of popular Irish slip jigs — The Hills of Ireland and Kid on the Mountain — which are in 9/8 time, adding 1, dividing by 2, and coming up with 5/4. Got it? Never mind: it rocks anyway.

Never was there a tale of more woe. . .

Here be some funk in yo' face! The Irish reel The Rainy Day is followed by The Flowers of Redhill. Of course!

A young man leaves his belovéd Ireland for the romance of adventure on the high seas. Of course, he do take a little detour so'westerly. . .

This amusingly-titled tune is followed by The Merry Sisters. In this set we try to create a story in sound: a flow of mood from introspective to hopeful and exuberant.

A classic story of the joys and sorrows of life on the open sea.

This lovely and pensive tune is full of contrasts. It is the flow of time, a walk along a city street, emotions felt but not understood. . .

Courage. Loyalty. Faith. Death. Glory.

A cheerful and playful little set of jigs. Take time out for some fun! Includes Jackson's Rollicking Jig.

Back in the day, when a group of Scots were in the mood for a dance and there were no instruments present, someone might launch into a bit of mouth music — a rhythmic singing style that provided a good beat and usually a catchy refrain for the others to join in on. This is followed by a lively set of tunes from the Shetland Islands. It's cold up there, so expect some fast music to help keep a body warm. You were warned.
