Dances With Lobsters (Tape Records, 1996) Marking a radical change with convention, the Dun Ringills decided to record their fourth tape in the big city of Edinburgh. Jons father in law owned a video making company and Jon managed to scrounge some time in their proper professional type studio. However, the band still ended up recording the songs on the MR300. Only that it was perched on top of proper high tech equipment, so it felt like it was recorded on a proper commercial set up. In October 1995 Jason and Wattie came down from Stornoway and Robin came across from Glasgow and all crashed with Jon and Trina. By day, the band beavered away in the studio and at night ate lots of large meals in Jons house. After several days a work of art was in the bag and ready for release. However, Jon took ages getting the tapes copied and it wasn’t actually released until May 1996. The tape name came about as a tribute to Jasons career as captain of a lobster boat in Harris. Jason also produced yet another stunning cover. Drinking Thinking A moving tribute to Cathy Gyawls Under Age Drinks Emporium in Stornoway. One For The Pot A poachers lot is not a happy one.
