[getarslim]

@RogerMeadowstailor1, I was a friend of Jim and Sylvia back in the day when they stayed in the Gorbals, Tam Drysdale and I played with them and sometimes Tony Cuffe in the Scotia Bar and Victoria Bar and one time at the Aberfeldy folk festival. Jim was a great guy and Sylvia had the most wonderful voice.

Robin, was this at all an influence upon the shredding section at the end of Sim Sala Bim?

[rocketsdad7]

One of my all time favorites. I sure wish they'd release this album on CD... are you listening, Topic Records?

[Dayepipes]

Please put up Sylvia's "Last O' the Tinkler" from this album. I loaned my copy of the vinyl and it never came back, or I'd have it up now.

[Kilchattan7]

@Dayepipes this lads put it up EnviousElk

[eddybaby58]

All you Los Angeles and SoCal Kentigern lovers, ch-ch-ch-check it OUT! I was in Amoeba Hollywood THIS WEEKEND, and in the Celtic/Folk used vinyl section, they had another great copy of this record, so, if any of you REALLY want it, get on down to Amoeba. I am sure it will still be there, as I was the only one of hundreds of customers looking in that section on that day, and I went from the beginning to the end without anyone else coming along. I'd bet they'd send it via mail nationwide too!

[awesomeseghute]

@eddybaby58 thank you! just picked it up today!

[RogerMeadowstailor1]

Thats my uncle Jim and Aunt Sylvia Barnes in the middle there.I always loved listening to their stuff.Even when i was a kid i used to love listening to my uncle playing the guitar and the cittern

[VamboRoolz]

Brilliant band - bought this LP when it came out and it's still one of my all time favourites. WIsh they'd release it on CD!

[Kenentigern7]

Brilliant rescue job squire. I had an fully autographed copy of this when it was issued and played it to death. Jimmy McGuire taught with and was a mate of my father.

Haven't come across Jimmy since dad's funeral 20 yrs ago.

[estebaneeezy]

How do you get your hands on something like this?

[Kenentigern7]

@estebaneeezy with great difficulty I tried a couple of years ago without luck and I'm Glaswegian.

[eddybaby58]

@estebaneeezy : I don't know about your situation, but I live in Los Angeles and haunt used record stores. I found this album a couple weeks ago and had no idea what it was like and bought it anyway for a couple dollars. I checked out the tune titles and what instruments were played and it sounded right up my alley. The cover was in top notch shape, and the vinyl looked like it had never been played. I got it home and found to my delight that it was a fabulous record from stem to stern! 

[eddybaby58]

@eddybaby58 If you start at E-Bay and work your way down through used record store's websites, you are bound to find this record quickly.

[estebaneeezy]

@eddybaby58

Agh. That's sick man. So lucky. haha. Any idea where I can download it?

I have a tape of the album this came from Bloody brilliant, Dougie Pincock (2nd right) played in my local pipeband, Neilston and District. Great boy!

[Roodypoocandyass]

Hell yeh.

[gargh]

Aaah this reminds me of our annual street party on the road I live - we get folk bands coming down and performing on the road and everyone jigs their tits off till they collapse (even though no one can do it right)

[virginijustiskus]

Amazing tune, so intensive!

[movingness]

Brutal

[AnnaCecilleMoorman]

My heartbeat's in 6. Love jigs!

[TheHummingbirdsong]

[Qber4life]

[WeEnjoyYelling]

Shredding.

[ocd44]

this makes me want to learn how to jig... because as of now, I am just doing a poorly executed, spontaneous rendition of a jig.
