Our Take

The Tannahill Weavers are like that one friend who always shows up with a bottle of whisky and a twinkle in their eye, ready to liven up the party. Their self-titled album, "Tannahill Weavers B.O 1979-89," is a delightful romp through the band's first decade of music-making, showcasing their signature blend of traditional Scottish tunes and irrepressible charm.

From the rollicking reels of "Farewell to Fiunary" to the haunting beauty of "The Braes O' Gleniffer," the Tannahill Weavers prove themselves to be masters of their craft. Each track is a testament to their skill as musicians and their love for the rich tapestry of Scottish folk music.

But what really sets this album apart is the band's infectious energy and joy in playing together. It's impossible not to tap your foot or hum along as they weave their musical spells, transporting you to misty moors and merry pubs.

So, grab a pint, throw on your kilt, and get ready to dance the night away with the Tannahill Weavers. This album is a rollicking good time from start to finish, and a perfect introduction to the magic of Scottish folk music. Cheers to the Tannahill Weavers for keeping the tradition alive and kicking for over four decades. Slàinte mhath!
