The band that created a stir like no other Scottish band since Silly Wizard. Their first album for Green Linnet, Crosswinds gets to the heart of how Capercaillie achieved their stature in such a short time. Highlighted by the ethereal, yet powerful vocal presence of Karen Matheson, Capercaillie will stun you with their intelligence and virtuosity.

Karen Matheson (lead vocal), Charlie McKerron (fiddle), Marc Duff (recorder, whistles, bouzouki), Donald Shaw (accordion, keyboards), Martin MacLeod (bass, fiddle) and Shaun Craig (guitar, bouzouki, percussion).
