At The Front was recorded for, and released by, Topic in 1978. This incarnation of the band had the stalwarts Alan Reid and Brian McNeill plus fellow Scot Jamie McMenemy and Irishman Pat Kilbride. Again with producer Robin Morton they turned out a very distinctive album reflecting the tastes and repertoire of the individuals involved. We are pleased to make this excellent recording available again to those who missed it first time round.

CELTIC CONNECTION - A glorious selection and Robin Morton must be congratulated on his enterprise on making the albums deservedly available on CD. Its nice to see that these classic recordings stand the test of time and will hopefully inspire a whole new generation of young musicians to check out their own heritage.

ROCK N REEL - ... instrumental virtuosity mixed with subtlety and creativity ... still shine out, their initial freshness - undimished.
