I never could hear them play "Hector the Hero," which itself is a sad enough story, without tearing up. Now I know about McCourt, I cry at will.

Is the death of Roddy McCourt a state secret? This band had so many fans; did no one take note of his death??

Does anyone know what happened to Roddy McCourt??

I first saw Wolfstone headlining at the Celtic music festival at Wolf Trap. I remember being so impressed with "Bonnie Ship of Diamonds." They are wonderful and I miss them.

"Lament him ye mountains of RossshireYour tears be the dew and the rainYe forrests and straths let the sobbing windsUnburden your grief and pain"

Massed pipes and drums playing "Hector the Hero" are well and good, but this beautiful lament-style rendition is in a category by itself!

Brian Scott

An all time fave :)

Hal Barbour

Without a doubt, my favorite tune played by the one and only band that gives this great Scottish lamet it's power. Duncan Chisholm on the fiddle, and the late great Roddy McCourt on the Highland pipe, it brings a tear to me eye every time!

Michael Ketley

Those who want Scottish Independence should use this as their Battle Cry. I'm English and it stirs my blood !

sublime and truly beautiful and moving. To hell with amazing grace, this is the definitive Scottish lament and I feel very proud to be Scottish and to have music such as this as part of my culture and heritage. very noble whereas amazing grace is about a reformed slaver and finding god ( I don't like pious religion)

@MrRichardWalt Aberdeens full of sheep shaggers!

Richard Walters

I was there in 1992 as an exchange student from California! The hall pulsated with dancing, and Wolfstone rocked the hall. I love Aberdeen and Wolfstone! This was one of greatest memories of my time there.

Can't help but let the patriot stir every time I hear this song. I defy any Scotsman not to feel something well up at 3:00

MrPeavee
