I am informed that the Orkney Festival is upcoming and has a fine list of performers. I'm especially interested to see 'Stramash' listed. Last I heard, they broke up years ago had never cut an actual record. I'm only slightly familiar with Anne Neilson - on "Folk Songs of North East Scotland" but am struck by truly extraordinary ballad singing. McNaughtan's brilliance pops up here & there (eg the Hamish Tribute) but I regret I have little of his and never caught him live either. Can you tell me who is in the group these days and if they do have any CDs out? Thanks. Abby
