From Orkney! That's generally hints at quality playing, odd originality and laid back humour. Often 'the little island' when compared musically to the Shetlands - Orkney deserves much more attention and it should start with The Chair.
A comparison? Maybe 'Wolfstone' (who were co-formed by Ivan Drever from Orkney!) but before they borrowed Runrig's ton of equipment.
It's not all in the power guys. When you're good, you're good.
So SIT! And take The Chair.
