It was an era of glow sticks, rave pants and dodgy haircuts. Sneaking into castle grounds with a carry out, scrawling notes on blank walls. Dodging the police to avoid a ride home.

And for some, a chance to make music and follow the bright lights.

Among them Willie Campbell, founding frontman with The Tumbling Souls, who are back with a new single due for release - 1995 - which is a nostalgia dipped love letter to those times, refections on lives lived in between, and homecomings.

He discusses how it fuses their blend of on trend country meets trad with a flash of indie. It will be among the songs on their at HebCelt Festival in July, where Willie has just been inducted into the Hall of Fame.

He also talks about how The Tumbling Souls have settled into a tight line-up: Iain ‘Spanish’ MacKay (guitar, vocals), Louisa Barron MacDonald (fiddle), Iain Kernahan (guitar), Stephen Drummond (accordion), Willie (guitar, vocals), and their sixth member, Paul Martin (guitar).

And he explains the process of recording at Wee Studio in South Dell on Stornoway with owner Keith Morrison and producer and performer in his own right, Scott C Park.

A second single – Nowhere In A Hurry – is already pencilled in as the follow-up release later this year.

Ep 23: The Tumbling Souls, is streaming now.
