On the last night of Aly Bain and Phil Cunningham's 12th annual tour of Scotland, they played a storming concert at Eden Court Theatre in Inverness, Highland capital of Scotland. This is that concert. The repertoire is timeless, their music speaks to all ages. The accompanying documentary shows behind the scenes footage and gives an insight in the relationship between Aly and Phil. More information can be found in the biography and discography on this dvd.
scottish tradition Both Aly Bain and Phil Cunningham are well known Scottish folk artists. Fiddle player Aly is deeply rooted in the Shetland tradition, accordionist Phil hails from the mainland. Both have performed all over the world with many musicians and -individually- were members of bands like The Boys of the Lough, Silly Wizard and Relativity. For twelve years they have toured Scotland as a duo, in the mean time recording several albums together. One of the performances during their 12th tour was filmed and the result can be seen on this dvd. The music is as important as the humoristic announcements, as becomes clear quite soon. The result is more than an hour of good music. The accompanying documentary Good Old Boys shows behind the scenes footage of this same tour, taking us to the Shetlands, Inverness and other places, including Aly's home, where the boys prepare a curry. Individual interviews gives the viewer more information on the personalities of both artists. Finally the dvd is completed with discographies and biographies plus all the relevant weblinks.
