Collection (2007) brings together twenty of Hadrian’s Wall’s most popular recordings from the band’s first decade, spanning releases from 1995 through 2001. Featuring traditional crowd favourites, original songs and contemporary Celtic classics, the album offers an excellent introduction to the music that established Hadrian’s Wall on festival stages, in concert halls and at Highland Games across North America.
The compilation showcases many of the band’s signature performances, including “The Jolly Piper,” “The Martintown Song,” “Mary Ellen Carter,” “Glengarry Highland Hip-Hop,” “Courtin’ in the Kitchen,” and “The Irish Rover.” Drawn from the band’s early studio and live recordings, Collection celebrates the friendships, musicianship and traditions that shaped Hadrian’s Wall during its formative years and remains one of the best overviews of the band’s early catalogue.
