Ruaridh and Seylan have recently formed a new band - The Sugarboat Reivers - together with:
Cheyenne Brown - harp
Jon Bews - fiddle, backing vocals
plus percussion
The new band is an exciting development which we hope will complement Tattie Jam. We will soon be recording an album produced by the legendary Jerry Boys to be released in the autumn.

Review by David Kidman
This vibrant duo certainly have a lot going for them, not the least a unmistakable sound, and they've produced what I can only describe as an outstandingly inspired debut CD, one which I'd not hesitate to class as undoubtedly one of the finest Scottish albums on the market at the moment. If you're looking for a seriously different angle on Scottish tradition with a contemporary slant, then Tattie Jam will fit your bill very well indeed.

Their voices are excellent and work together well. The arrangements occasionally surprise, no more so than on Earl Richard, a song combining their voices, the cello and, unexpectedly, didgeridoo to create an atmosphere redolent of the border reiving days.
The whimsical Different runs through the reasons to be other than human, Winch Away is a song about the collapse of fish stocks of Scotland and The Birken Tree is an unusual love song with no murders and a happy ending. It is thoughtfully compiled, musically exciting and above all entertaining. Bet they're good live.

Tattie Jam's debut album 'Jam' receives a 4-star review in Scottish national newspaper Scotland on Sunday
FOLK / TATTIE JAM Jam * * * *
Richly textured with crunchy harmony and unusual flavours, this is not M&S jam, it's home-made in Scotland by the unique pairing of cello, frets, and and the voices of Seylan Baxter and Ruaridh Pringle. A sense of humour underpins much of Pringle's writing - blackly in his new ballad The Doctor's Dochter, and whimsically in Different - but the pair can bring new colour to old gems such as The Birken Tree. Toe-tapping jigs are reeled out on banjo, mandolin, guitar and bass fiddle, and though cheekily Scottish, it doesn't care what the neighbours think." Norman Chalmers
