An Awfy Guid Band Fae Scotland's Own Little Kingdom.........
Introduce their New C.D......
"Gipsy Spirit"

A Smiddymade Production.
Artwork by Paul Mitchell

The Fife, suprisingly enough hail from the 'Kingdom of Fife' in Scotland. The band is made up of four members....One of whom John Pauley recently left but was thankfully replaced by a more than adequate replacement; Andrew Hennessy.

The Album (which I had great pleasure in designing the cover) is a selection of traditional tunes set to an original arrangement by 'The Fife', Their sound is quite distinctive, almost 'Rock' but definately 'Celtic'....

The Band Lineup for the C.D. was:
Art Wilson - vocals, Guitar
John Pauley* - Electric Violin
Tom Annan - Drums
John Bell - Bass, Vocals
* - since departed the band :(

Sandy Brechin - Accordion
