One of their previous albums, The Fire and the Passion of Scotland was Album of the Year at Celtic Radio in the US, winning first place in the Jigs and Reels category as well for the set of tunes on the album. All of their previous albums continue to be very popular with fans all over the world evidenced by the Scottish Music Industry Association awards for Dark Island, Lochanside, Glencoe Massacre, Edinburgh Toon, Rosslyn, Tak A Dram Afore Ye Go and The Fire and the Passion of Scotland.

“Their show and their albums consist of traditional, contemporary and self-penned material put together, in a style all their own, along with their humour and story-telling.”
