I am searching the Internet for a music by a Scottish group called Shoe-leg Nifty. Well that is how I think the name is spelled - having only heard it on one of The Norwegian Broadcasting System's channels. This group was told to have the top ranking melody for 1997 on a Scottish folk music ranking list.

Can you help me to find som of the group's music?

Tank you in advance for an answer!

Regards

Atle Bergset

The group you are looking for are called Shooglenifty. They have three CDs which are currently available:

Venus in Tweeds

A Whiskey Kiss

Which are both released on Greentrax Also a live recording which I think may be released by RealWorld.

If you want to find out more about them why not phone their agency: Brass Tacks Agency [phone] I hope that helps. If you get a chance go and see them play live, they are hot!
