I am looking for the song : »AA Cameron’s Strathsprey ... The new shillin’” from the album “so many partings”

Ce groupe est venu chanter dans mon village de 300 hab. en 1979, ou 1980 je crois!!! eh oui

j'étais enfant mais jamais je ne n'oublierai !! Que d'émotion pour mon 1er concert !

J'ai encore le disque ! La jacquette et celle là même (photo plus haut) : « So many partings »

Trop fun de re écouter leur album now

@hoterebel @hoterebel The tune you mention is called AA Cameron’s Strathspey. The album is available on Amazon . Alternatively the set has been posted on Youtube by DantesDarkside.

Pure nostalgia. Andy sings straight to the soul.

With this moving song (as with Wi'MyDogAndGun) you cannot but feel homesick for Scotland.

Someday I'll come back to visit this beautiful country again ...

Heard them sing this in St. Louis in the mid-80's. Instantly one of my favorite songs and performances of all time. Thank you!

Best Scottish band and one of the best singers of all - EVER!

Thanks Uistmann. This was the first song of Silly Wizard that I learned to sing (many times) to myself. It's "going home", to the home of my ancestors, my family, my love. Rejoice in it.

So many memories surfaced hearing this again. Thank you.

Just heard Andy rock this song tonight in Pittsburgh. If you've every met the man you will understand why his music is so inspiring. Andy has a unique way of valuing the important things and moments that other people cherish from their lives.

I saw them in concert at Rice University in the mid 1980's. What a group! Absolutely wonderful. Thanks for posting this. Brings back many memories.

No one does this song like Andy!

@GIOtheZIPPERHEAD Mrs. Mary Burness must have had a great imagination :-) It still doesn't lead to your home town being named after this tune.

Beautiful song that my local Celtic group plays with joy.

Thanks for posting it.
