Jimmy Moon first took up the electric bass in the late ‘70’s when living on the Isle of Arran off the west coast of Scotland. He teamed up with some local musicians there to form The Prannies – playing mostly punk/rock style music. After moving to Glasgow in 1985, he met with Ian Mairs and the first line up of The Moonshiners was formed. A Gibson EBO replaced the Fender bass he played with The Prannies, followed by the upright bass he plays now. |
"Singing in the Lane" featuring 18 excellent tracks, including some well known instrumental numbers, a couple of brilliant tunes written by Phil, and 4 songs written by Ian - including his Scottish bluegrass song "Wee Hielan' But'n'Ben".
The Moonshiners are no spring chickens and maybe that’s a good thing. Here they show that there’s been much more than Monroe, Flatt or Scruggs.. The delivery is earnest, the tone unfussy and the net effect is just about as heart-warming as could be...
