FIRST HEARING:
Straight into the 'heuch' here with some belting jigs. Like many of the 'west-coasters' there is just a hint of Irish amongst the Scottish and just that edge of 'wild' that seperates from the more sedate 'east-coast'.
You will have your own preferences. For us, another dram, another 'heuch' and a few more tracks please!
