Over sixty minutes of reels, jigs and strathspeys to dance along to - or tunes just to sit and listen to. A great name from the 1950s, 60s, 70s and 80s but despite his huge reputation, CD recordings of the late Andrew Rankine are few and far between. With the support of Andrew's widow we are therefore very pleased to bring to you this repertoire of a fine Scottish musician, bandleader and composer.
