Gaberlunzie's official site…
Formed by members of the Glasgow Police in the early 1970's, Gaberlunzie,
Gordon Menzies and
Robin Watson, are among Scotland's best Folk singers, albeit somewhat unknown in certain circles.
As with many of the different groups and singers I've run across, it was quite by
accident that I discovered Gaberlunzie in the early 1980's; and
since that time they've become among my very favorites.
Gordon Menzies, in my view, is one of the best singers and songwriters around. Most
Gaberlunzie albums include several Gordon Menzies
originals.
Gordon's compositions cover a wide range of subjects, with Scotland being the common thread.
Robin Watson's contributions include the instrumental backbone, as well as producing most
of their albums. Robin, too, is a very fine singer; his versions of "The Broom O' The
Cowdenkowes" or "Jamie Foyers" are the best I've heard.
Gaberlunzie has around 20 albums to their credit, and many of them are available on CD through
their
website and at many others sites specializing
in Irish and Scottish music.
