Shepheard, Spiers and Watson - They Smiled As We Cam In

(September 2005) 15 tracks including Bonnie Ship The Diamond * Glenlogie * Bleacher Lass o' Kelvinhaugh * Dowie Dens o' Yarrow.

Peter Shepheard, Tom Spiers and Arthur Watson are enthusiasts for the Scottish folk tradition. They bring together a wealth of song repertoire gleaned directly from many traditional singers they have known, including artistes such as Jimmy McBeath, old Davie Stewart, Jeannie Robertson and Lizzie Higgins.

Tom and Arthur were members of the well respected Aberdeen-based group The Gaugers along with founder member Peter Hall, noted folk song collector and folklorist.

The three have been sharing their enthusiasm and playing together for many years.

"Scottish traditional music and song without the frills!"

"This is the sound which attracted me to folk music in the 1960s."

"Shepheard, Spiers and Watson bring a refreshing honesty to their songs."

"You are about to hear some fine, fine music." (Martin Carthy)
