Scottish folk group Alba was formed by Sean O'Rourke, ex member of folk-rock group The JSD Band. Sean brought in ex-Tannahill Weavers' Mike Ward and then recruited Tony Cuffe (later to join Ossian) and the late Alan Macleod. Alba took their inspiration from Irish bands such as The Bothy Band and Planxty, playing mainly acoustic traditional folk songs. Musicians include: Alan Macleod - Highland bagpipes, bodhran; Tony Cuffe - guitar, lyre, whistle, vocals; Sean O'Rourke - vocals, bazouki, flute, whistle; Mike Ward - fiddle, mandolin, guitar, vocals. 12 tracks including: Glen Rinnes/The Jig of Slurs; The Overgate; Kings Favourite; Van Dieman's Land; The Mermaid's Song/John Murray of Lochee/Pipe Major George Allen; The Blacksmith's Reel/The Star of Munster; Fear Ah Bhata; Drummond Castle/Paddy's Leather Breeches; Captain Ward; The Garten Mother's Lullaby; The Geese In the Bog/Dr McInees' Fancy. Traditional Celtic roots folk music, with many being psych folk rock.
