A look through Robin's gantry of albums dedicated to whisky should give you a musical flavour of the evening.
The Angels' Share (Greentrax CDTRAX137 - 1999)
This album has most of the songs (and a few short poems), from the one man show, "The Angels' Share", devised by Robin as a light-hearted examination of the cultural side of Scotch whisky. Most of the songs are traditional, but not all! The Angels' Share is the name given to the whisky lost through evaporation as the spirit matures for years in oak casks. Best listened to with a wee dram, but that is not compulsory.
Tracks: More Than Just a Dram, Our Glens, Piper MacNeil, Willie Brew'd a Peck o' Maut, The Parish o' Dunkeld, Tak Aff Your Dram, Twelve and a Tanner a Bottle, Whisky and Women, Nancy's Whisky, The Deil's Awa wi' th' Exciseman, A Bottle o' the Best, John Barleycorn, Tongue Discipline, Tall Tale, Whisky You're the Devil, Tak' a Dram/A Wee Deoch an Dorus
The Water Of Life (Greentrax CDTRAX246 - 2003)
