FIRST HEARING:
Bothy songs and Scottish country music have been a part of life at the Foundry Bar in Arbroath ever since the time when the only customers were the foundry workers from over the road (the foundry has long since gone), the fisher fowk from the town, and the fairm chiels in from the Angus countryside for the weekly fairs and markets.

In 1975 some of the Foundry Bar musicians got together, entered and won the Ceilidh Band competition at the Kinross festival – and so was born ‘The Foundry Bar Band’. This, their first album, was issued in 1981 and it has been a top selling album ever since.

Since then, many of the regular musicians at the Foundry Bar have taken a turn in the band – playing at concerts, ceilidhs and dances throughout the area, and at festivals up and down the country.

Few bands, professional or otherwise, can so well convey the essential lilt of Scottish music with such enjoyment and enthusiasm.

It's not really a first hearing 'cause this classic album has been a popular and steady seller for years, and now that it's out on CD for the first time and that will certainly help sustain it's popularity.
It's a big fat bouncy ceilidh band sound - great tunes and a few songs thrown in to keep the pot boiling.
