Hidden in the pages of the old dog-eared hymnal are some of the great folk music treasures of ages past. This album celebrates the deep musical connection between the English hymnal and the traditional Celtic repertoire. Beloved hymn tunes handed down for generations come alive in their alter ego as reels, jigs, waltzes and airs. Playing on a mix of a dozen traditional Celtic and modern instruments, The Wild Oats turn Sunday morning into Saturday night with this unique collection.

Listeners have been extremely enthusiastic in their response to this album. For many it brings back memories of church hymns and family events. Children and adults alike enjoy the Celtic instrumentation, which includes guitar, fiddle, pennywhistle, bagpipes, piano, bass, trumpet and more. It will repay many listenings and will be a favourite for years to come.
