This CD comprises a selection of new songs by Gary Miller, some updated acoustic versions of "old hits" specially selected from The Whisky Priests' early catalogue, and a few North East of England traditional songs and tunes.

Gary Miller's first full-scale professional recording and performing venture in 5 years is sure to be of great interest to old fans of the Whisky Priests as well as those who missed the band first time round. It follows a self-imposed sabbatical from regular recording and live performance due to personal reasons (including a long period of illness). During this ?rest? period he has still kept up an active role in music working successfully as a community projects, and even a 9-month spell as a music agent working for the UK's leading Folk, Blues & World music agency.

Ralf Weihrauch is not only one of the finest accordion players in folk music today, but a great singer too. His second Solo Album "Hole in one" will be out during February 2008.
