We truly enjoyed seeing and hearing the fine group, The 42nd Royal Highlanders of Lafayette, Indiana, in Connecticut, summer of 2010!

And we were please when asked by one of their members if we would carry their new CD.

From their website:

"The 42nd of Lafayette was formed by Captain Thomas J. Griffin in 1975, for men interested in Scottish history and culture, portraying the Black Watch during the period of the American Revolution. The men of the 42nd perform all around the Midwest, sharing our heritage and our history to spectators year round. The 42nd features a band of bagpipes, fifes, traditional rope-tension drums, and highland dancers, the only such unit to field such an instrumentation in our period in North America.

The 42nd performs a reportoire of music that is authentic to the Black Watch that we re-enact, from Wha' hae the Forty-twa, played upon entering the field, to the notes ofJohnnie Scobie (We're na awa' ti bide awa'), that can be heard at the end of every performance. Several favorites from more recent periods can also be heard in our shows,including the ever-famous Scotland the Brave.

In addition to the pipe band, the 42nd also serves as the Lafayette area's only Scottish society, sponsoring Tartan Balls, Scottish Country Dancing, and the annual Robert Burns dinner."
