Comment:
A mix for Gerry and his countrymen, nearly called it,'Dh' Aindheoin Co Theireadh E' - Battle cry of the clan Macdonald but Gerry's a McDonald and therefore thought it might offend. Anyway this is by no means a definitive catologue of the best of Scottish songsters; just a collection of tunes enjoyed by a mere Sassenach (though one proud of his clan Bruce heritage) Enjoy.Feedback:
Title translates to 'Scotland Land Of The Brave' by the way.
There's no denying it, a lot of great music has broken thru Hadrian's Wall..Bono was always a poor man's Mike SCOTT...I see u opted to leave out Orange juice, LLoyd Cole & The Magnificent Alex Harvey...Altered Images and The Bay City Rollers (reckon Gerry'll be mortified at losing a band so endowed with the psych spirit)..nice to see those young upstarts Franz Ferdinand...good stuff as always Cliff!!!!!!
Looks great!
I have often thought of doing something similar... including such artists as Aztec Camera, The Bluebells and Simple Minds.

great mix, Frenchie, and thanks for the mention! I love the john Martyn track to death and the rest ain't too shabby either. If there is to be a volume two, Donovan and the Vaselines would fit nicely.
Many great tunes/bands - but big kudos for Tinsel Town in the Rain.
go celtic go, Go Ian Rankine go, Go Bobby Gillespie go, and we all love Belle & Sebastian of course
Looks great.
Just a quick response to Dom & Erik. Couldn't agree more with your comment about Bono, Mike Scott is one of my all-time heroes, not only are his songs superb but lyrically he's a genius too. Oh by the way, would have included Lloyd Cole but when I checked he's English, though admittedly the Commotions were formed in Scotland; & yeh Erik all 3 of your suggestions nearly made it.
Wonderful mix. Great John Martyn tune.
Awesome through and through.
Aye...a mighty mix indeed ! (Gerry'll be as keen on this as 'e is on kilts)
Lots of great tracks. Love that opener.
love this.
A load of the pure Scottish stuff..., Franz Ferdinand rips. I'd be inclined to go with Alex' Harvey and some Poets, too..., v2?
Also, from where I sit, as Guest Editor, this has been in my "Top Ten Mixes of the Week" since you posted. Great job!
well done . . . no Nazareth? (only joking, probably better without them). G.
Good. But I'll echo the call for Altered Images and the Vaselines, and add the much maligned Bis.
Can't believe I didn't see this before! You have great artists on here - from a great place, though I may be biased :) - and I really like the inclusion of the Karen Matheson. Amen to the Franz Ferdinand sentiments (and the Mike Scott comments!)
