Right now it's hard to move in Scotland for bands rediscovering their roots, everybody seems to be hauling fiddles, pipes and accordions up on stage to prove their heritage, inevitably the quality is variable and only the fittest survive.
Coinneach, however, are made of the proper stuff, they have in Davy Cowan a first class writer, a muscled rhythm section that keep a tight groove, and Rachael Parker whose strings provide light and shade on both the folksy takes, Closer Now, and the gutsy slices, Back street Lovers. There's never a point where you feel they've gone over the top or undersold themselves, the balance is just right throughout, evidenced by Man Overboard, where pride in their homeground is expressed as a measure of freedom. Production by Nick Turner is clean, with a regard for sound that is honed by intuition and hundreds of gigs.
I take it Pictish Pop - great name - is their own label, more on www.coinneach.co.uk.

The energetic four-piece have wowed crowds at home and abroad and have built up a considerable fan-base with their own unique flavour of Celtic rock music and highly charged performances. Coinneach have created their own fine mix of sounds - from soul searching songs to foot-stomping frantic fiddle frenzies. Catch them live to truly appreciate the phenomenon that is Coinneach.
