Fixing Jigs from Orkney Monster by The Chair
A rollicking set of jigs bookended by Kenny's Fixing George, written for The George Inn, which Kenny's son broke and Kenny had to fix. The Striking Clock was learnt from the playing of Derek Curtis, at the Sunday night Bothy Session, where The Chair was born. The Broon Note by Gavin is a special note found in any key or scale, although you won't find it in any book. It can't be taught and is never played on purpose.

Combining a benignly hedonistic version of Viking berserker spirit with a formidable breadth of musicianship, Orcadian eight-piece The Chair deliver a turbocharged mash-up of folk, blues, rock, dub, klezmer and more. Collectively the sound bursts with the energy of a heavy rock gig—a rampant ruckus of fiddles, banjos, accordions and drums—yet remains acoustic at heart.
