The Chair & Young Trad at 20 with Benedict Morris

Bruce MacGregor is joined by The Chair - back with a brand new album after a 7 year recording hiatus. And 2019 winner Benedict Morris is next in the hot seat for Young Trad at 20.

Orkney Monster is the long awaited third album by the band who have become synonymous with live concerts, festival highlights and late night parties. The band have been going since 2004 and have gained many fans over the years with the unique brand of ‘Orkney Stomp’ music designed to get people moving.
