The Robert Fish Band have treated dancers everywhere - from Balls to the Labour Party Conferance, via literally hundreds of ceilidhs in their home town of Edinburgh - to copious amounts of the best fun you can have with your clothes on.

Produced by Simon Thoumire.

"Walking the line between tradition and innovation with sparkling flair - and a highly contagious sense of fun - they have helped to spearhead the remarkable revivable in social dancing that has accompanied Scotland's recent folk renaissance, bringing the nations original party music back to where it belongs, right at the heart of community life. Stick on the record, take your partners and strut your stuff * but be warned - excessive exposure to these tunes can induce extreme euphoria and sweatiness." (Sue Wilson)
