your ears and feet, supercharging the trademark grooves, samples
and loops with stunning live playing by top Scottish musicians.

quicksilver concertina plus pumping beats bass and keys all combine
to make Keltik Elektrik 2 one of the most unsitdownable Celtic
albums of the year.
In 1998 Greentrax released the Keltik Elektrik Edinburgh
Hogmanay Party Mix, directed at the dance, club and party scenes.
As before, the musician behind the project is multi-instrumentalist
Jack Evans of Jock Tamson's Baims, Easy Club and Cauld Blast
Orchestra fame. The album is 100% instrumental and consists of an
incredible mix of sounds, styles and rhythms - with a beat to suit
the most energetic club dancer!
Jack Evans with Kathryn Nicol (fiddle), Battlefield Band's Mike
Katz (pipes), Tony McManus (guitar) and Simon Thoumire
(concertina).
"If you are at a party on 31st December at about 11.55pm and
waiting with baited breath for the New Year ahead with a glass of
champagne or two in your hand, and thinking "what music can I put
on the hi-fi?" - well, help is at hand." (Hot Gossip, UK)
