For All That. Ballads of Robbie Burns and other Celtic favourites
$20.00 AUD
On the 250th anniversary of his birth, Canberra’s own Celtic ‘big band’, Humbug, pays tribute to the great Scottish bard, Robbie Burns. Several of his best-known works are included - from the poignant ballad of lost love, ‘Ae Fond Kiss’, to the stirring anti-war protest, ‘Ye Jacobites By Name’.
The recording also features the band’s distinctive original harmonies in a number of other much-loved Scottish ballads and rousing Irish favourites.
And, of course, it would not be a fitting tribute without the inclusion of the title track, Robbie Burns’ immortal, ‘A Man’s A Man’ – for all that!

Celtic Circles
$10.00 AUD
In this, its first album, Humbug has chosen some of its favourite Celtic ballads. The band has also included two lovely American folk songs - an acapella arrangement of Stephen Foster's Hard Times and the only 'contemporary' song on the album, Harry Chapin's anthem, Circle. The result is a mixture of songs often rarely heard these days which evoke the spirit and feel of another time and place. We hope you will enjoy them.
