Artist: Calum Kennedy
Scottish singer Calum Kennedy once embarked on a disastrous tour of the Scottish Highlands in an old bus, with the entire enterprise documented on video by the BBC. Kennedy reportedly wasn't happy with the program, but it has since developed cult status. I found this 1959 recording (and not much else, other than a James Last Christmas LP) at Lyle's Place in Victoria, Canada. I've provided a sample of one of Calum's Irish songs ("The Ould Lammas Fair") as well as one from Scotland ("Lovely Stornoway," which is also a really good band.) You can read about Mr. Kennedy on Wikipedia here.
