50 Great Songs

50 Great Songs
(Sony Music - 2010)


For 30 years Runrig are enchanting their fans with songs which combine modern pop rock with traditional Scottish folk. They perfectly demonstrated this at the legendary open-air at Loch Lomond where they played in front of 50,000 fans. Their anniversary concert at Stirling Castle was sold out. Runrig started their career as a typical folk band, but since 1973 they became a pop rock band and reached cult status - not just among their fans. At the end of 2007 their tune Loch Lomond - the unofficial Scottish hymn - entered the British Top 10 in a remix version. Last year Runrig toured Germany and played in front of 100,000 fans. And now they present a collection of their songs on 3 CDs and a DVD. 50 Great Songs includes 34 best-of songs, 16 songs in Gallic and a DVD which offers 11 live tracks. The songs been chosen after they questioned their fans - and as a bonus you get some previously unreleased live recordings. The box isn't just interesting for fans, it also gives a good idea about how the band sounds these days.
