Best Of Scotland The What? Volume 2 [CD]

Pawky, dry, highly intellectual and bitingly satirical.. And yes, hilariously funny! Scotland, her peoples, her cultures and her social institutions endearingly mocked and lambasted by arch comedians Scotland The What? This CD gathers twelve wonderful performances dating from 1979 through to 1995, each just as funny as the last.
