St. Andrews Night in the Tams

The Irish give it big licks, the Yanks have their moment and even the Aussies are infiltrating into our hostelries to partake in a celebration of their national day. Despite the celebration of other national days, we neglect our own. However, steps were taken to ensure not blanket coverage but jovial recognition that we can get involved in this national day celebration business and maybe, just maybe, get a holiday out of it in the future!

I decided to shape up a St. Andrews themed round, and set myself the challenge, that every song coming out of my iPod had to be, in some way, connected to Scotland. I'm pleased to say that, despite strains with half an hour to go, this was achieved! Dave also managed to get a few Scottish artists in there too. Well done to the winners and hope you all had a good night! Here's the tracklisting:
