North Sea Gas, are one of Scotland?s best-loved folk groups who have toured the world, They reveal that the most popular Scottish song after 40 years is probably ?Caledonia?.
The band, who have made 21 albums including over 270 songs and 70 Scottish and Irish tunes, are massively popular in the United States, Europe, and particularly Germany. ?Fans expect us to play favourites like ?Fear A?Bhata? and ?Johnny Cope?? said Dave Gilfillan, the band?s founder-member. But there's always a request for ?Caledonia?.
From humble beginnings at The White Hart Inn in Edinburgh?s Grassmarket the band?s career has taken them to every part of the world with a regular circuit in Europe and North America. Their experiences include hosting legendary late night shows in the early 80s at the Caley Cinema in Edinburgh with guests such as Hamish Imlach and Johnny Cunningham. They've appeared at many of the top folk festivals and shared stages with Dame Edna Everage, and Gene Pitney, and many more household names over the years. The band?s 21 albums have seen various personnel changes and their latest 22nd album will be a triple compilation album (featuring new material) to mark their 40th anniversary, Named appropriately ?A Long Road? .
The current North Sea Gas line-up has been the most stable with Gilfillan and fellow band member Ronnie MacDonald working together for twenty years and Grant Simpson joining them 16 years ago. 40 years down the road it's a Black Swan Folk Club debut for North Sea Gas.
