Iain Matthews - Return To Tupper Street: Valley Hi Reimagined - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

Cosy Moments, the group's sixth full length, is filled with Kinski's dense, intricate and occasionally nearly deafening noise, a musical style that is almost completely contradictory to their album title.

Originally released in 1988, Red & Gold finds British folk-rock pioneers Fairport Convention balancing traditional storytelling with contemporary songcraft. Anchored by Ralph McTell's epic title track, which recounts the 1644 Battle of Cropredy Bridge, the album blends rich musicianship, spirited folk melodies, and thoughtful original compositions. Featuring standout performances from Simon Nicol, Ric Sanders, Dave Pegg, Dave Mattacks, and Maartin Allcock, Red & Gold is a late-period Fairport gem that showcases the band's enduring ability to bring history, humor, and heart to life through song.

2024 . Celebrating 40 years in 2024, Capercaillie present ReLoved, an album of new symphonic arrangements recorded with the BBC Scottish Symphony Orchestra and with new arrangements from Greg Lawson (Grit Orchestra), Donald Shaw and Kate St John. Widely respected trailblazers of Celtic music, Capercaillie are credited with being the major force in bringing Gaelic music to the world stage and inspiring the great resurgence so evident today. Comprising of material from their much-loved repertoire, ReLoved encapsulates the spirit of Capercaillie - with strident waulking songs collected from the Hebrides such as Hi Ri'm Bo and Mile Marbhaisg; hypnotic groove infused instrumentals; epic modern ballads such as Manus Lunny's Servant To The Slave; and poignant love songs like Iain Ghlinn Cuaich.
