“A Call From The North” by The Wick Scottish Dance Band - album review

features in: Album Chart of 1973Album Chart of the Decade: 1970s

TJR says

At the core of the band in '73 were fiddler Addie Harper and accordionist Eann Nicolson, both of whom had been there since forming in Caithness in 1953. Usually a group of 5 or 6, they had a strong following on the back of touring relentlessly. They line up for this one: Addie Harper (fiddle, banjo, Hawaiian guitar), Eann Nicolson (accordion), Isobel Auld (piano), Hamish Auld (bass) and John Gunn (drums).
