Shooglenifty

DJ Dolphin Boy makes a fitting tribute mix to the much-missed Angus Grant of Shooglenifty. This is bloody wonderful….how the man would want to be remembered – through his music.

With Shooglenifty, Angus Grant took the spirit of the dances and dreams behind Scotland’s traditional music and catapulted that music into the 21st Century. His sudden and unexpected departure leaves a void in our music and our culture. Read our tribute with recollections from Neil and Simon Emmerson of the Afro Celts.
