Details

It's been a decade since the release of Before The Ruin - the collaborative album between three of Scotland's best current writers and performers - award winning folk musicians John McCusker, Kris Drever (LAU) and Idelwild frontman Roddy Woomble. Since its release the album has gone on to become one of those rare things - a word of mouth success, admired and loved by those who know it, and a slow burning contemporary Scottish folk classic. Poetic, melodic and atmospheric, and featuring contributions from Radiohead's Philip Selway, Norman Blake and Francis MacDonald from Teenage Fanclub and Donald Shaw from Capercaillie, there is an unruffled, hand-woven synchronicity to Before The Ruin.
