Scottish Music - bk. 2

This album heads north of the border to explore Scotland's vibrant music scene.

The last few decades of the 20th century saw the development of a new roots culture in Scottish music, with a new generation of Celtic groups interpreting traditional material in a blaze of bagpipes and fiddles.

While these folk bands catch up with their Irish counterparts, folk song - always a strong tradition north of the border - has also flourished thanks to an abundance of talented singers and songwriters.
