On March 30th we gave the first performance of "The Great Western Road Trip" at Edinburgh’s Usher Hall.

As if opening night anxiety was not enough, we were also playing nine new songs for the very first time with the added fear factor of a request by BBC Scotland to record the concert. Somehow all of these factors combined to focus us into playing, what we now realise, was one of our best performances there or anywhere for some time.

There was one unknown factor. That night was to be the last time we would play in Scotland with our friend and brother James Miller Prime. So, this is a very special recording of six close friends and musicians making music, unaware they were on their last ever run of shows together. We hope the excitement we felt at creating the show comes over and you enjoy this unique recording of very special Edinburgh night.

Dedicated to James Miller Prime
(3 November 1960 – 19 June 2025)
