Today would have been the 70th birthday of rareTunes founder, the late Derek Hoy. To mark the day we have added 12 new tracks of Derek’s famous band Jock Tamson’s Bairns from a set of field recordings made in Scotland in 1983 by Swedish musician Marianne Muller.

Rare

In modern Scots, 'rare' is applied to something special or particularly enjoyable. The Dictionary of the Scots Language quotes Ian Rankin in 'Black and Blue' (1999) writing: "Jings, but it was rare to be home."
