Last time I drove through
the Highlands, an Aberdonian pal commandeered the CD player and made me listen to The Proclaimers, Del Amitri and the best of irritating pseudo-folk played badly for gullible people..

Vile. A bit of decent Shoogelnifty or Peatbog Faeries or something would be OK. And Saw Doctors.

I agree on the Shooglenifty/Peatbogs...
Also try Ivan Drever/Duncan Chisholm for trad folk stuff.

Wolfstone is more folk-rock with electric bag-pipes & fiddles, with the energy for driving :D

Jury is still out on Capercaillie though...

I saw them at
Heb Celt Fest last summer, they were OK.

I need to find myself a nice wee folk festy up here to do
I miss being at home where Trowbridge Village pump and Larmer Tree were so close...

Larmer Tree
is probably the best festival I've ever been to - 2003 - one day I'll make it back there :D
