A Wednesday Night at The Tass
CD
for Oxjam (for Ox .fam !)
  (See our main Oxjam page)

This CD was recorded at The Tass Bar in Edinburgh's historic Royal Mile. It is as near as you can get to a genuine representation of one of our normal Wednesday night sessions there, which are dependent purely on who happens to turn up. From week to week the mix of musicians, the range of instruments, the choice of tunes, and the level of banter and general idiocy, will change with determined unpredictability. That's what makes being part of it fun !

It's a live recording. No rehearsals. No second takes.
We enjoyed playing. We hope you enjoy listening.

You can buy the CD any Wednesday night at The Tass for just £5. Or see below to buy it online.

This recording was made with one main purpose - to sell as a fundraiser for our efforts towards "Oxjam" - Oxfam's annual music festival. All the profits from its sale will go toward the relief of suffering.  Produced under MCPS licence LM-0000899
