- Yep, they have a couple of albums, one simply called "Mouth Music". They also
- did the music for the Drambuie advert, and are a big hit at "Womad". I have
- an album by Mouth Music's new singer, Mairi MacInnes. It's called "Causeway"
- and is very good if you like solo Gaelic singing which has a slightly modern
- feel - it's a lot more traditional than Mouth Music though! Mairi also sings
- on the Runrig song "Skye" on the "Heartland" album
