Well I'd better answer the questions I asked.
1. I first heard them as a duo at Eden Court in January 2003 when the were plugging the Long December Night c.d.and d.v.d before they were released.
2. Favourite c.d I have heard them on very hard I think it depends on my mood at the time but really I like everything they have done as a duo, solo and with Wolfstone. Agree Bill Unleashed, The Chases and the Half Tail are all great but I really like the live sound on Not Enough Shouting.
3. The Lewis Blue is my stress relief tune of the moment. I put it on and close my eyes (except when I'm driving of course) and it calms me down. Also really like I Will be There beautiful lyrics, The Flower of Kristiansand and Night in that Land The Orkney Anthum, and a couple of the fast sets as well. I should really just have said I like everything!!
4.I have
seen them 4 times as a duo. Twice at Eden Court, Muck and Ballachulish.
Muck was my favourite gig because they played acoustically and the venue in a classroom was just so informal.
5.I would love to hear them play The Lewis Blue live. It is just such a beautiful tune I'm sure everyone would love it and the set that is the 5th track on The Lewis Blue. It is a fast set and I really like the 2nd tune in the set.
6. I will have to think about this.

I _think_ it was Celtic Connections when Ivan was still in Wolfstone.
Can't remember exactly when, suspect 1995 or 1996????

Can't tie it down to one.
Of the solo work, The Lewis Blue and Redpoint are clear favourites.
Call me a luddite if you will, but I still rate the first two "proper"
Wolfstone albums (Unleashed and The Chase) very highly and still enjoy
them immensely. I listen too these two much more often than the later
Wolstone stuff. Andy Murray's electric guitar was much missed on the
later albums but I'm going OT here :-)
Knowe o' Deil LPs still get regular plays as well, particularly

The Rose of St Magnus and Farewell to Orkney because of my Orkney
connections!
Leaving Stoer because it's such a beautiful piece of music!

Seen then only three times as a duo.

Nothing in particular springs to mind to be honest.

Haven't seen them live for a while and the stories have slipped from my
mind.
