It is ten years now since Real Time played their very first gig on 5th March 2002 at the Prospect Folk Club in Runcorn, and what a journey it has been since then. Over that decade the band has toured extensively throughout the U.K. and Europe,and to the U.S.A., playing everywhere from small clubs and village halls to the vast stages of major festivals. Judy, Kenny and Tommy have toured with a variety of top fiddle players, including Joe Wright, Aidan O’Rourke, Iain Anderson, Archie McAllister, Chuck Fleming, Fiona Cuthill, Claire Mann, Carly Blain and Shona Mooney.They have released five hugely successful albums which include guest appearances by many acclaimed musicians like Brian McNeill & Stevie Lawrence and as they reach this landmark the time is right for them to compile this special collection of their favourite songs. 

Hopefully they will be your favourites too ...

Recorded at Big Sky Studios and produced by Tom Roseburgh, this brilliant, mind-blowing, finger-boggling and quite sublime!  The music is mainly Scottish, with some traditional pieces and some newer, but there are some Irish touches and a superb continental solo fit to fry the fingers! Gary is accompanied by regular pals Robin Hamilton on piano and keyboard, and Donald Graham on drums, with special guests Shankend Mac on guitars, and Jimmy Nagel on fiddle. Supreme stuff for any ceilidh, or just a boogie round the kitchen.

Hilary Bell's debut solo album with the late John Wright, Stewart Hardy, Kenny Speirs, Tom Roseburgh, Ian Lowthian, Rosie Bell, Dave Haswell,

The late John Wright's amazing recording at Big Sky Studios

John Wright had a voice that would enhance any song, and with songs by such as Kieran Halpin, Jack Tempchin, and Chris Rea, this has to be an excellent album. John sings twelve songs, all quite different in nature but all great vehicles for his appealing voice. A gentle album, with John backed by cittern, cello, and bouzouki as well as the standard instruments.
