’Strong’s book is a work of phenomenal dedication. In attempting to collate every Scottish artist in the history of popular music, Strong has come up with as comprehensive a tome as one could feasibly hope for.’--
Metro A must for music-lovers, this is the only reference book to include all the Scots-born or bred bands, solo artists and record labels. From Glasgow-born Lonnie Donegan in the 50s to the emergence of Travis in the late 90s, Scotland has produced some memorable music in the last half-century. Including Belle and Sebastian, Lulu, Billy Connolly, Jimmy Shand, George Chisholm and Aly Bain, this meticulous guide is the first to combine rock, pop, folk, traditional, jazz and classical music in one volume. Every track recorded by hundreds of artists is listed. There are comprehensive biographies and recommendations for must-have recordings.
Martin C. Strong (now in his late 40s) is also the author of several editions of The Great Rock Discography and other offshoots such as Great Indie (2), Great Metal (2) and Great Psychedelic discographies. He has been compiling music tomes for over 25 years. He lives in Falkirk and has 3 three daughters aged 4, 26 and 28.
