Buchan Bluegrass is brilliant!
This is their best CD to date!
~ Celtic Connection

Speyfest audiences have grown to expect the very best Celtic music around, and again they were served ample portions from Tiller's Folly, whose high-energy performances had the crowds on their feet shouting for more. The band are all masters in their own right and their music and audience rapport earned them the sheer adultation of the Celtic music lovers at Speyfest."

On their fifth CD, Tiller’s Folly explore the relationship between North America’s Bluegrass tradition and its roots in Scottish music.

Invited to tour Scotland in 2004, Tiller's Folly soon found themselves surrounded by a collection of the finest Celtic musicians in the world.

They watched, listened, jammed, performed, and socialized to their heart’s content.

This coming together of influences is the inspiration behind Buchan Bluegrass.

Tunes range from the eloquent Robert Burns’ classics, “There'll Never Be Peace Until Jamie Comes Hame” to Bothy ballads like “The Barnyards O' Delgaty” and “The Hairst O' Rhettie.”

Ceilidh By The Spey: This track has become the official theme song for the Speyfest Pan Celtic Music Festival in Moray, Scotland, commemorating the festival’s 10th anniversary.

The Ballad of John Rae: “It’s good to hear a song that tells the story of John Rae . . . It will go some way to giving him the status that he deserves." - Robbie Fraser, Producer, BBC Radio Orkney.

MacPherson’s Rant: “The best version of MacPherson’s Rant I’ve ever heard.” - John Seivright, Keith Radio, Aberdeenshire
