What better way to celebrate the Silver Jubilee of The Scottish Fiddle Orchestra than with a CD full to the brim with new, and to a large extent previously unrecorded, music.

The 'Old Man of Hoy' in its rugged, majestic form and featured on the cover welcomes you to these Jubilee celebrations with a series of outstanding and vibrant performances. Even the audience participation in some tracks seems to heighten the fervour of the Orchestra's playing.

Conducted by John Mason MBE and Andrew McGarva.
