Aly Bain's brilliant fiddle playing has won him wide acclaim and brought new audiences to traditional music - on tour with Scotland's Young Champions.

Aly Bain was inducted into the Scottish Traditional Music Hall of Fame during the Scots Trad Music Awards December 2006 in Fort William.
Aly introduces the concert at Ballachulish:

The album was recorded live during a week long tour by Aly with some of the finest of Scotland's younger generation of musicians and singers, travelling from Arbroath to Glasgow, Strathdon to Thurso and down the west coast to Ballachulish and Oban -- to packed houses all the way. Some of the best times were those spent by the Young Champions playing tunes together and with Aly on the coach on the long road north. A new tune was even composed for Hamish the driver!

Tracks include an opening set composed by Aly Bain's fellow Shetlander Ronnie Cooper Dr. Donaldson and The Anvil; several Scottish folk songs The Pear Tree and A Wee Burr Stuck tae Ma Apron; a Gaelic An Ataireachd Ard from Vicki Ferguson with clarsach accompaniment. Instrumental sets include Scott Williams on tin whistle, Russell Kostulin on fiddle, Bruce Lidsay on accordion, a set of tunes from Martyn Bennett on cauldwind pipes and finishing with Margaret's Waltz made famous by Aly in earlier recordings.
