      Music Question

      Has anyone heard of a band called Hadrian's Wall? I've been looking for them for a couple years.

      Hadrian's Wall has recorded six albums. Their unique blend of Canadian, Scottish, Irish, American, and Original music has made Hadrian's Wall a favorite amongst music lovers everywhere. In 1996, Hadrian's Wall recorded their debut album at McGill University. Two more independent releases followed: "Glengarry" in 1997 and "Courtin' in the Kitchen" in 1998. This trilogy captured the essence of the band's upbringing in Scottish-Rooted Glengarry County, Ontario, and led to successful tours all over North America. A line-up change in the fall of 2000 offered the band an opportunity to take their music to a new level. A rejuvenated and more mature Hadrian's Wall released "Elbow Grease & Whiskey," an album that received rave reviews by fans and concert promoters alike. In August 2001, the band recorded their first live album at the Glengarry Highland Games in Maxville, Canada. Aptly named "Live", the recording captured a powerful performance in front of a rowdy 2000 + hometown crowd.
      In 2003, Hadrian's Wall released their much anticipated album "A Good Excuse to wear a Suit". This album was recorded over a six month period that started in December of 2002. It showcases the songwriting ability of Neil Emberg and Richard Irwin. Both Emberg and Irwin, who started the band have come a long way. Their ongoing struggle to keep things fresh and new is what keeps Hadrian's Wall on their toes. This new album, once again sets them aside from the rest of the flock.

      Anyway, I havn't been able to find the cd's.

      http://www.rambles.net/hwall_livedone01.html - One of the writers here, presumably

      http://www.hadrianswall.net/ - The definitive site, it seems, for Hadrian's Wall - The Band, not the place

      Yay! At least the first one had the cd's for purchase. I had seen the third one, but never anyone actually selling the cd's...except when I was lucky enough to see them live.

      Not up to date though, so I wonder if the store is still good?
