Details:
Tattie Jam offers a distinctive brew of songs, from dark ballads and protest songs to off-the wall humour, and tunes ranging from slow airs to kinetic jigs and reels. Much of their material''s given a playful or funky contemporary twist, with contrast provided by the odd acapella song or unaccompanied tune.
Their material''s a varied but harmonious blend of reinterpreted traditional Scottish songs and tunes, and songs and tunes written by Ruaridh. Thoughtful arrangements and the fact both harmonise vocals whilst playing elements of lead, rhythm and percussion give Tattie Jam a sound that''s unmistakable, and surprises new listeners with its size and scope.
