Carlsberg Ad. What's the music?
Dave Parry
played in the new Carlsberg advert? It's the one with the people
playing cricket on the beach. The song sounds Gaelic, Scottish
perhaps?
Cheers,
Dave

Yes! It was by the wonderful Scottish group RUNRIG.
The album which the song is off is ALBA (Gaelic word for Scotland)
You'll find it in the rock section of any decent record store,
or in the folk music section of not-so-good record stores <g>
For any more details about this great band (I went to see them at
Glasgow Barrowlands in 1987, when they were unknown outside
Scotland!) just mail me...
Hope this helps
James.

Actually I think you'll find the track is titled "Alba", and the
album it comes from is "The Cutter and the Clan".

Right album, wrong track. "Alba" is a sort-of-rock number, quite unlike
the advert. I may be wrong here, as I haven't played the album for a
couple of years now (ever since they signed to Chrysalis actually,
conspiracy theorists) but I think it's "The Highest Apple", or (excuse
my Gaelic spelling) "An Ubhal as Aird".
Perfectly willing to be proved wrong though. Also, the spelling will be
wrong as I only spell the occasional Gaelic word and then I do it
phonetically. As in "Farshinyuchk an eemal cheerinyuchk. Sheh ee-at
shaw na taschullen na long-ree-al Ee-onsay Hoonartach". No prizes to
whoever translates that (and points out the translation errors I made
from English originally.)
