This song is so addictive, and amazing, who would ever think all rock needed was some bagpipes to make it perfect? I feel like Pavlov's dog, hitting that repeat button for more more more, on instinct I just can not get enough of hearing this amazing song.
Saw Seven Nations when I was like thirteen at the Spyglass Winery Celtic Festival in Sunbury Pennsylvania. I got the chance to give all of the band members a hug. I love the shit out of these guys.
Neil Anderson is still piping. He is on Facebook and his latest band is called Rathkeltair. He is a friend of ours. Maj. Neil Anderson, US Army--married with 3 kids now. Wow--14 years ago we met and bought him a guinness, seems like yesterday!
The Original Line up of Seven was the best!! When they had the dude on bag pipes and tin flute (I think his name was Neil)...those guys really rocked!!! I saw them concert about 10 times all around Virginia and became a 7N groupy. When Neil left I stopped keeping up with them. Their first couple of cd's were the best...especially "Road Kill" vol.1&2.
@LTSeamus No, they weren't. They were originally called Clan Na Gael but changed their name in 1997 to Seven Nations when it was learned that there was another group with the name Clan Na Gael. (SEE: Wikipedia article for Seven Nations (band)) As I said, my Old Ground CD has the name Clan Na Gael on it, not Seven Nations. If I had a scanner I'd scan it for you. Their 10 year reunion album with original band members Nick Watson and Neil Anderson is called, "Clan Na Gael: 10 Years On"
@LTSeamus Parmenides320 is absolutely right and correct!!! I watched Seven Nations perform live with my own eyes when they were known as Clan Na Gael back in 1995. I met these guys in person and even had a few beers and conversation with the bass player, Struby. Check your facts before you make write things that are factually incorrect.
We use to see them every year at the Fairhills Highland Games in MD. Very nice group of guys. Love their music, wish they'd play around here again. Would love to see them live. We are in NJ and I don't see where they will be anywhere nearby anytime soon. :)
whwn I saw them at the highland games in 99 they were 7Nations,,,,i did not know they were ever anything else...I first heard them in 97 and have been hooked since....
@Baron4ever17 When I first saw them they were Clan Na Gael,. In fact, the CD I ripped this from is a Clan Na Gael CD. Thought it best to upload song with album art with new name.
No, Clan Na Gael did become Seven Nations. When they got more popular they discovered that another band was already going by the name Clan Na Gael, so they changed it. I have this cassette with the old name, and the cd with the new name. I saw them at our local folk festival a few years apart; first as Clan and then as Seven Nations. Same guys.
Yeah, I saw them as Clan Na Gael at Grandfather Mountain Highland Games back then...recorded them on video cassette....spoke with them a while...also saw them again at the Flora MacDonald Highland Games...great bunch of guys...bought this CD at the time...

Has anyone heard "Daze of Grace" by Seven Nations? Pretty amazing recording - but I can't seem to find it...

Um.....at that time it was Seven Nations. Clan Na Gael is a completely different group or am I not understanding you? Thanks for posting this though!
