Square" (1998), produced by Declan Sinnot ex Moving Hearts

by Irish rock magazine "Hot Press" and their latest album
"Songdogs" (2000) takes the listener on a journey of original
tunes and songs that are sure to entrance.

Men & a Dog, Planxty and Maura O'Connel to name a few. They

that can capture an audience till you can hear a pin drop.
They have two albums Lead the Knave (1990) and Causeway
(1995) and word has it that a third is on its way.
La Sonera Calaveras
La Sonera Calaveras was formed by a collection of musicians
with a variety of backgrounds from folk to Latin and jazz.

and is influenced by Cuban Son style created in 1920s Havana.
The band have played throughout Scotland and the UK bringing
warmth to even the coldest Scottish day with their sun kissed
melodies.
Back of the Moon
Back of the Moon is a young band causing a stir on the
Scottish folk scene. They return to Campbeltown again this
