A powerful late eighties album from one of the most popular Battlefield Band line-ups, featuring Brian McNeill, Alan Reid, Dougie Pincock & Alistair Russell. The music is rousing, melodic and often, as on the title track, hauntingly beautiful. 'Celtic Hotel' saw the whole band growing in stature; Brian McNeill and Alan Reid furthering their already high stock as songwriters, while the band as a whole sounds capable and adventurous.

'Their most important album so far, firmly establishing them as a powerful contemporary force in Scottish music, without laying waste to their traditional roots'
FOLK ROOTS

'... the sounds produced by these inventive folk rockers from Scotland is as close to perfection as any album I have heard this year ... they have concocted a winning brew'
