Thanks for the tip, I've ordered a copy. There's also a very good 3 CD boxed set compliation called 'Borderlands: the best of Scottish folk'. An excellent 64 song selection with numerous classics. There's also an Irish similar set from the same stable called 'The Rocky Road to Dublin: the best of Irish folk'. Sadly this one's not so good (and I'm Irish). It includes a pile of stuff which could hardly be called 'folk' such as 'Come Back Paddy Reilly', 'Westmeath Bachelor'. However it's worth it for two tracks alone: a rousing version of 'The Sash My Father Wore' and the beautiful Irish language song 'Siobhan Ni Dhuibhir' (Joan Dwyer, I think) performed by The Barley Cove Folk. You don't need to understand a word of the language, it's a thing of great beauty, imho!
