Many years ago we were asked what we would do if we won the lottery. The response was immediate and unanimous, we would keep on touring and recording until the money ran out. That is true dedication for you, and it is that attitude, and a little bit more, that has kept us on the road for 27 years and 13 (15 if you count compilations) albums.

It gives us a great sense of achievement to be able to write that many of you who are reading this have actually been looking forward to the appearance of this new album, and we hope that not only will you have great pleasure listening to it, but that we have a few pleasant little surprises for you this time around.

For those of you interested in Tannahill Trivia, this is the first time in our history that we have recorded three albums in a row with the same band members. What that tells us we’re not sure but you’d think it would tell us something, wouldn’t you? We have a veritable mine full of equally useless information but don’t worry, we’ll save it for another time.

We recorded this album on the banks of the "Silvery Tay" in Scotland, and we would like to thank mine hosts, Dave and Ann, from the local hostale… hostelar… historal… hatstyle… hotstew…… pub for the conviviality. As luck would have it this establishment was celebrating its 100th birthday while we were recording, and to celebrate this they had decided to charge the same price for beers, ales, and excisable liquors as had been charged on the opening day 100 years previously. You can well imagine our joy. However, as we sat there sipping our "cold ones" we could not help but notice a dozen or so men standing silently behind us staring avariciously at our foaming libations. It was almost sinister. The barman, sensing our disquiet, said "Don’t worry, lads, its only the locals. They’ll be waiting for happy hour."
