"The East Coast of Canada has had a number of bands that have celebrated that area’s history and musical links to its Scottish/Irish/English roots, but the West Coast never really has had anything similar until now. The British Columbia band The Tiller’s Folly is stepping in to fill that void with a historically based collection of songs that are played with a strong Celtic flavour. Led by vocalist and guitarist Bruce Coughlan, the band plays an original style of melodic folk/rock with twin fiddles, whistles, mandolin, backing vocals and a guest drummer on most tracks. Coughlan draws upon the rich heritage of the Canadian west for most of his subject material, interspersed with original instrumental pieces that draw upon the Canadian Celtic tradition as well. It’s music
that works on two levels: as a history lesson and as good music in its own right."
