Conductor: John Mason MBE. Masses of fiddles, masses of tunes and masses of fun, this very high-spirited live recording celebrates twenty-one years of one of Scotland's most popular musical institutions, the Scottish Fiddle Orchestra.

Reels, jigs, airs and a song solo while the fiddlers rest their fingers give the album the well-rounded balance and sound this hallmark Scottish group always gives. Storming selections, and by the sound of it the audience are not only dancing in the aisles but on their seats as well.
