Is This Historical Highland Attire ?

I really do not care Albannach very much. I have had to listen to that drum pounding too many times while vending at the games to enjoy them. If you would like to hear some very good traditional Scottish tunes, played in a rather hard-driving (at times) and fun style, try the Tannahill Weavers. Except for a short time and one album, when they added a Canadian who played electric guitar and wrote a couple of tunes, they have stayed true to the traditional. They are not going to be in kilts, but you will enjoy them and will have heard some very good music. I am trying to get the Don Gibson Theater here in Shelby to bring them in at some point. They are acoustic except for the keyboard played by cousin Les Wilson. Another good traditional Scottish group is the Battlefield Band, although they sometimes vary their program with modern material.

I'm glad to hear I'm not the only one who is not impressed by Albannach. Some on here treat such talk as blasphemy.

Hey! If you don't like them, you don't like them. I think they play with great energy, and I enjoy them, but that's me.

The drumming wears out pretty quick for me, as bands like this go I like Tartanic much better. I aways catch their shows at the Texas Ren Fest.

I don't recall hearing Tartanic cover Dougie MacLean's "The Gael", people often ask for "that Last of the Mohicans song" so you hear it a lot from various pipe bands. Personally, much as I like the pipes, I'd rather hear this version;
