The Clisham is the highest peak on the Isle of Lewis and Harris. Perpetually shrouded in grey cloud, its mysterious heather clad heights have inspired song for millennia........well, it inspired Dun Ringill...... not least because south of it lies the lands of 'Na Hearachean', loosely translated as 'The Harris Dwellers'.
Have you ever seen the film Deliverance?....'nuff said!

Recorded in April 1997at the Valtos Outdoor Centre on the beautiful west coast of Lewis, Dun Ringhill stocked up with food, drink and Longbottom Leaf for a week, and produced this fine collection of inspirational songs.

Some would say Dun Ringhill 'sold out' on this album, as it was recorded on a Tascam 8 track recorder of fairly decent quality, eschewing forever that characteristic 'recorded in the garage with a few beers just after a fish supper one Friday night' feel once enjoyed by Avant Gaelic Obscurist Folk Rock.
DunRingle would disagree with this sentiment. Being able to hear the detail of what they were recording for once was an uplifting experience. Incredibly, you too can share in the experience. 'Clisham' is the first DunRingle album that could be successfully digitised, so click on the 'Play' buttons and enjoy !!

Once more Jason painted a cover, this time depicting the band as sheep on leads, being restrained by the hand of a buxom warrior maid wearing not much more than a bobban hat. Worrying!!
