Silly Wizard Silly Wizard CD

Silly Wizard were a Scottish folk band that first performed as Silly Wizard in September 1972. The band performed regularly at Edinburgh's' Triangle Folk Club and their debut self titled album was released in 1976. The genre of music is a variety of Scottish folk music, both instrumental and vocal, from fast jigs and reels to slow airs. While the majority of the items they played were traditional songs or tunes, the band did write many compositions of their own and eventually with the later addition of synthesizers also developed a new age feel. In 2003 Silly Wizard were nominated for the best folk band award in the Scots Trad Music Awards. In addition, Members of Silly Wizard played at Celtic Connections in February 2007. In December 2012, Silly Wizard was inducted into the Scottish Traditional Music Hall of Fame
