With their unique and imaginative combination of fiddles, metal and gut strung Celtic harps, concertinas, flute, whistle and double bass, SPRANGEEN brought a new dimension to the spectrum of Scottish music when they issued this their first and only album in 1984. The band derived their style and repertoire from a wide range of traditional roots - from Gaelic waulking songs to Border fiddle tunes, and from Highland pipe music to traditional Scottish songs. All have gone on to contribute to the richness of the current Scottish music revival Patsy Seddon and Mary MacMaster were both founder members of The Poozies and they play together as a duet in Sileas.
