Alan Hunter

"One of the best folk singers in Scotland." MARTIN BOLAND

 

Alan Hunter Alan Hunter has a distinctive style, often described as "abrasive" - it's a style you'd usually see in Alan's sessions, specifically the much acclaimed Royal Oak Saturday night session (fortnightly). Alan combines his love for history and storytelling to create songs which sound as though they've been around for hundreds of years.

The Long Grey Line (3 Mb / 3:38)

Written as a response to a man Alan met once who, for no apparent reason had a real dislike for the travelling people. After spending an evening round the campfire with a group of travellers, this song was born. The "long grey line" is one of many names for the road.

Maggie Broon (1.8 Mb / 2:08)

Destined to become a traditional classic, this song has all the essential ingredients of the perfect folk song. It tells the true story of Alan's first courting days, when Maggie Broon's brothers (mistakenly) thought their sister had been de-flowered, and subsequently added Dunoon to one of the places it's not entirely safe for Alan to be.
