Howdy folks

In the States, we have a show on our public radio station called The Thistle and Shamrock, hosted by Fiona Richie. She plays great music, by artists performing in the Celtic traditional styles, and the show has has been on the air for quite some time. It may be on the air in England-Scotland-Ireland as well, but I can't speak to that.

Many years ago, I recorded a part of her show to a cassette tape, and captured some really nice stuff. One set of tunes in particular was called "o'er Hills O'er Mountains" and Richie credited it to a band called The Strathallan Eireann Music Group. It is a wonderful collection of songs that are meant to chronicle the Jacobite Rising from beginning to defeat. Lots of good pipe and whistle tunes matched up with some really stirring melodys.

Well, the cassette is on it's last legs, so I figure no problem...I went on the Internet to see if I couldn't get the CD or perhaps an MP3 download from Amazon. It didn't show on Amazon at all, and a google search yielded nothing as well, to my surprise. It is like the group never existed. (key "Twilight Zone" theme music....)

Ordinairily I would just blow this off and get something else, but this was some really good music that I would like to have around, and as I say, the tape is banjaxed. Has anyone heard of this band? Perhaps I am spelling the name wrong in my searches...fI am at a loss to figure this out.

Any help tracking this band and CD down would be greatly appreciated.

Take care, ya'll
