John Watt & Davey Stewart:
Shores of the Forth

The title song Shores of the Forth is one of the few songs on the album that was not written by John. Some of John's songs such as The Kelty Clippie and Pittenweem Jo have become folk classics.

King James VI of Scotland described Fife as a ‘beggar’s mantle fringed with gold’ and this inspired the name of the band - the Beggar's Mantle Ceildh Band - Jock Ritchie on fiddle, Jock Mullen on accordion, Robin McKidd on guitar and bass and Brian Miller on guitar and mandolin.
