The Boys of the Lough were once described as the only group playing the traditional music of Ireland, Scotland and Shetland.  That was bound to happen, of course, when a group was formed by players hailing from all of those places. They released their first album in 1972 are are still touring today (after a lineup change or two).  

Their sixth album, from 1977, was aptly titled "Good Friends.. Good Music" and was recorded in Edinburgh, Dublin, London, Northern Ireland, and here in the USA.  Each track features a different group of musicians joining the Boys of the Lough, sharing their local music and allowing the Boys to add their two cents.  Enjoy these tunes recorded at Philo Studios up in Vermont.  Jay Unger & Lyn Hardy introduced the Boys to the first tune "Kitchen Girl," while Aly Bain added the second from his Shetland Islands, "The New Riggit Ship."
