Wolfstone : Captured Live 1

[sickpup4]

Scotland smiles with pride!!

[mactcampbell]

Great post. Does anyone have the name of the jig? Scanned the comments but couldn't find it.

[UISTMAN59]

@mactcampbell The set is called either "Cleveland Park" or "Kenny Gillies" . After the first one, which is "Cleveland Park" the tunes are "The Banks Of The Allan" and "Kenny Gillies Of Portnalong." The music for these tunes can be found at thesession doht org.

[mactcampbell]

@UISTMAN59 Thanks so much!!!!!!

[Villeens]

Perfect song:)....

[UISTMAN59]

@Villeens A perfect song would have words but it's a very good set of tunes :-)

[linzinorfolk]

great band... saw them in Ayr 1992 while on a Prince's Trust week at the old Butlins... been a fan ever since !!!

[pastore0506]

Brilliant!!

[copasetti]

Wow! I've got a Mountain Stage show that I recorded off the radio back in the 90's, with this song in the set. I listened to the live version for years before I bought the studio version off iTunes last year. Thanks for posting this!

[ST69er]

Excellent band-have had many brilliant nights at Wolfstone gigs and almost got bounced out of Music hall in Aberdeen for dancing on a table!

[killiekentman]

brilliant band,  saw them a couple of times 92/94 in irvine.

[mrsGreywolf]

wow, Uistman, cheers for uploading this gem :)))

[SatwaMan]

They are still awesome no matter what they look like. The video is great and thanks for posting it !

I wish they would come to the States to tour !

[UISTMAN59]

Thanks SatwaMan. I think a few others feel that way too :-)

[itsablack1]

They were going to tour the US in 2008 but for some reason didn't - their website, at the time, said "hopefully in 2009"...but I guess that now looks rather unlikely too!!! Can't even get them to play in Scotland at the moment, thanks to being pretty much ignored by promoters etc - and that in the Year of Homecoming, it's a real shame!!!

[SatwaMan]

I thought mulletts went out of style in 1978.

[mihohobaba]

Not in Scotland though!

[UISTMAN59]

I'll have to post a photo of myself in 1978 just to show I didn't have a mullet - there again I was never a dedicated follower of fashion :-) hope you enjoyed the tunes anyway :-)

[delgadosfan]

This video is braw!!! Love wolfstone!!

[swedishmetalupyours]

whats the song??

[UISTMAN59]

This is NOT a song! I think the set is called "Kenny Gillies" and among the tunes played are "The Banks Of The Allan" and "Kenny Gillies Of Portnalong" The first one might be Cleveland Park but I am not sure about that. There is a DVD or VHS called "Captured Alive" available with the whole concert on it.

[rebelpiper89]

The set is known as Cleveland Park on their Pick Of The Litter album. Is this video available for sale somewhere or something? I'd really love to get my hands on it! Thanks for sharing!

[itsablack1]

Its a good concert, one of their best?

I've got this on VHS too, but your not getting it ;-)

ebay is the place to find it, maybe?

[itsablack1]

You might want to try Amazon, you can sometimes find it there, second hand of course.

[swelsher]

@rebelpiper89 it's originally from the Unleashed album. Pick of the Litter was a best-of compilation. Which is kind of pointless, since their entire catalogue from Unleashed until The Half Tail was a best-of.

[Buspest]

Brilliant..... Cant wait till 16th April, Duncan Chisholm & Ivan Drever playing in our village hall..... :-)

[Segorean]

OMG! Awesome song! I so miss Ivan from the line-up!

[SandraB1951]

This brings back so many great memories. The original and best. So in love with Dunc and the rest of the boys. What a great night Kay and had with them in Orkney May 1996.xx

[UISTMAN59]

Thanks for your comments Sandra.

[scania2245]

u cant beat a bit of kenny gillies

[tricad08]

I used to see these guys in Forres at the Vic late 80's. Used to be heaving. Whole blace was bouncing!!!

Cracking night out!

[killiekentman]

saw them in Irvine in the 90s and they were brilliant then and still are today.

[ollach]

Aye they were good back then seen them first in the Dark island..

[bigblue07]

wow... they sound really cool and live they look about as fun as it gets

[blindwilliehighlight]

I miss Ivan so much in the band. It is not the same at all without him...

[itsablack1]

Maybe not, but Stuart Eaglesham is a brilliant frontman ;-)

[northshorescot]

Awesome band! Wish they'd come play the US again soon.

[Surfpunk69]

Saw them live years ago when Ivan Drever was fronting the band. Fantastic gig. I gather they've gone more mainstream now?

[itsablack1]

Wouldn't say that, they've always been quite rock orientated and the traditional elements are still very much a feature :-)

[blindwilliehighlight]

In fact, I would say that they now sound more traditional to me, that's why I prefer them with Ivan.

[itsablack1]

????? Listen to Terra Firma and tell me if you still think they're more traditional than before LOL :-)

[rebelpiper89]

Terra Firma was cool stuff! I notice they have arranging tunes written by the late Gordon Duncan. Not that I'm complaining

[itsablack1]

Terra Firma took them in a 'new direction'. A bit more mainstream in terms of the songs on it, though the tunes were as 'traditional' (traditionally arranged) as ever which is why some people think it's a bit "unbalanced"...I think it's a good album, though not their best ;-)

[angipuss]

is that rory macleod on pipes

[awbs32]

No.

[UISTMAN59]

Band members at the time: Ivan Drever, Duncan Chisholm, Struan Eaglesham, Stuart Eaglesham, Andy Murry, Wayne MacKenzie, Graeme Youngson and Roddy McCourt

[trufflepuppy]

Hell yeah, that was my fav line up. must have seen them about 20 times around then. wasn't the same when Andy left and poor Roddy took his own life. very sad. they all left great and lasting memories tho

[missborders]

Ivan Drever and Andy Murray have got back together to form a new band. The IVAN DREVER BAND hit the road next month around the Highlands. Gig lisitings on their myspace profile (ivandreverband)

The Wolfstone videos are all courtesy of ManofUist. Too lazy to post them himself.

[arranant]

cant seem to work out how old this is as you sugested its good though

[UISTMAN59]

'About This Video' states 'Wolfstone live in concert 1992' Thanks for noting your appreciation anyway.

[arranant]

oooops stupid me. i went to see wolfstone live a long time ago, realy realy good band and from the gratest countery in the word

[PhalainaBelgium]

That's the real Wolfstone we like !!  Phalaina

[UISTMAN59]

Thanks PhalainaBelgium.

[fiachraconn]

HI Uistman where are these guys from. would love to see them live

[UISTMAN59]

The lineup has changed a bit since the one in these clips. Based in Dingwall/Inverness but Colin Cunningham is from Dundee paired and the drummer Alyn Cosker is from Ayrshire and singer/guitarist Ross Hamilton is from Glasgow. Quite a few changes - the fiddler is still Duncan Chisholm. Website is wolfstone dot co dot uk.

[guitardavie]

Ross Hamilton is no longer in the band. Davie Dunsmuir is playing electric guitar now. Stuart Eaglesham is back as frontman again.

[itsablack1]

...and deservedly so...;-)

[Wallaceshead]

thank you for this! great video!

[WhiteTiger333]

Oh, yeah! This is one of things I love about YouTube - stumbling upon great music I didn't know existed (and now can't live without). ;)
