A Caledonian MacBrayne Experience

June into July 2009 saw me with an Caledonian MacBrayne Island Rover ticket heading out to Scotlands western islands.
Here to the accompanyment of Mick Wards Roisin Dubh are one or two of the ferries i travelled on.

Mick Ward can be found as part of the group known as Before The Storm based in Benidorm at

Is that the Isle of Arran ferry? (as in the name of the ferry not the actual island!)

I used to visit Arran a lot when i was younger, ardrossan to brodick mainly on the caledonian isles but the isle of arran was always my fave!

Thanks for this vid, brought back loads of good memories :)

@PhoenixSlam Yes Phoenix,one of them is the Isle of Arran ferry.

Each of the ferries I travelled on seemed to have their own identity,some more welcoming than others.

Glad you enjoyed the memories.

Undoubtedly the best fleet in the United Kingdom

@clydeferries can't argue with that

Thanks @Destiny97531 ,I'm sorry it makes you sad.It's haunting music isn't it.

I'm glad you asked about the music,because it made me go looking to see what Mick Ward's up to nowadays.

He's based around Benidorm in Spain,and with another Irish musician you can find them on a website called beforethestorm dot eu

They're actually touring England and Scotland January and February,and I'll get to see them at Auchenlarie.

Cheers
