LEGENDS
I have still to come across a band who can affect people the way that Runrig do. Even after a decade of listening to them I still get goosebumps, tears, smiles and I never fail to jump around using every last bit of energy in my body. One song can leave your heart bleeding while the next song can leave a smile on your face that doesnt go away for days. They simply are mesmerising. The Stamping Ground album is simply mesmerising and Bruce Guthro's voice is simply mesmerising. On this album, 'Big Songs of Hope and Cheer' makes me cry and 'The Wall of China' leaves me feeling ready for anything. Everyone should listen to this album (not only once - that will never let you appreciate the gift that Calum and Rory have as songwriters - but day after day) to experience classy sophisticated music. Legends in the making.

CD of Golden Songs!
If anybody thought Runrig were finished when Donnie left, think again! This is certainly Runrigs finest hour. There is something for everyone. From the accapella track "The Summer Walkers" to the rocky "Wall Of China", not forgetting the ones inbetween such as the wonderfully haunting "Running To The Light", the ballad "One Thing", to the very inventive instrumental "The Engine Room". All in all this album cannot be faulted, miss it at your peril!

This might be their best album ever
Runrig are back with an album which points back to the early days of the band. At the same time the album points forward. The songs are fresh, mostly typical Runrig style but a few are more experimental. 'Running to the Light' is a beauty (and Rory Mcdonald does his best vocals ever). New frontman Bruce Guthro have penned 'One thing' together with guitarist Malcolm Jones. Guthro replaced Donnie Munro as the bands lead vocalist three years ago. Once again he proves that he was the right replacement. Guitarist Malcolm Jones is everywhere on this album with his guitars and pipes. This album is their best ever I think. Buy the album, go to their concerts, be a riggie.
