Guitars, Mandolin, Fiddle, Bouzouki, Harmonica, Whistles, Bodhrans, Banjo and good humor are all part of the entertainment.

One of their previous albums, The Fire and the Passion of Scotland was named Album of the Year at Celtic Radio in the U.S., winning first place in the Jigs and Reels category, as well for the set of tunes on the album. All of their previous albums continue to be very popular with fans all over the world, as evidenced by the Scottish Music Industry Association gold and silver awards for: Dark Island, Lochanside, Glencoe Massacre, Edinburgh Toon, Rosslyn, Tak A Dram Afore Ye Go, and The Fire and the Passion of Scotland.
Their show and albums consist of traditional, contemporary, and self-penned material arranged in their signature style along with their humor and story-telling. This proves popular during their regular tours of Scotland, America, Canada, Germany, Austria, Estonia, Turkey, and many other destinations both in and outside of their home in Scotland.

In addition to regular tours at home and abroad, they have taken their show to theatres, arts centers, colleges, schools, libraries, and community halls around the world. Touring, and seeing their native Scotland and other parts of the world is something the band really enjoys.
We could say more but put simply, North Sea Gas are a highly entertaining Scottish folk band who have an ever-growing fan base ranging through all age groups thus giving the Gas shows a wonderful atmosphere and universal appeal.
The band displays an attachment and a reverence for their roots from the very start. The music feels genuine, unpretentious and spontaneous, with a fondness for storytelling and beautiful harmonies. Celtic Radio Boston
No airs and graces just fantastic music EdinburghGuide.com
..they inherit the mantle vacated by The Corries and The McCalmans with tight vocal harmonies and well-chosen material..provide a solid well-honed sound vocally strong and musically complimentary..most commendable about North Sea Gas is their ability to balance up tempo material with quieter more thoughtful moments and treat each with commitment and professionalism. Fire in the Glen is an excellent showcase for their talents and shows them taking the Scottish ballad group mantle with fire and grace. John ORegan
