30 Glorious Years
The Scottish Fiddle Orchestra
Scottish
REL Records
Released: 1st August 2011
Catalogue Number: RECD574
Barcode: 722932057425
Running Time: 58+59+60 mins.
Compiled from umpteen albums recorded over the years both in studio and in concert.
Led fearlessly by John Mason MBE and now with a worldwide following, the SFO have maintained their 'amateur' status but have played 'professionally' throughout.
A look at the titles here suggests that for this celebration, at least, they have not featured their regular singers. So it's for music lovers only.
