(September 2006) 12 tracks (75 mins): Santa's Phone Call * The Hundred Fiddlers * Retirement * Columbus * The Sleeper * Mastermind * City Of Culture * The Beechgrove Garden * Press Conference * Rowan Tree * Moderator * Farewell To Auchterturra.

Song and comedy trio George Donald, Buff Hardie and Stephen Robertson. A representative selection of their sketches and songs recorded between 1979 and 1988.

Pawky, dry, intellectual and bitingly satirical. And yes, hilariously funny!

Scotland, her peoples, her cultures and her social institutions endearingly mocked and lambasted.

Surely one of the wittiest Scottish revue groups, the fact that they are still very popular, and still exceptionally funny, over forty years later is a sure indication of their sterling work.

Accents, rural peculiarities, localised idiosyncrasies and intellectual absurdity form the bedrock of this adamantine Aberdeen comedy team.

"Scottish humour at its rarely seen best." (Glasgow Herald)
