RAY COMPTON - GUITAR, MANDOLIN. MANDOLA & VOCALS

THE GROUP BASED IN THE VILLAGE OF BOWERMADDEN IN CAITHNESS, SCOTLAND AND TAKES IT'S NAME FROM THE NORSE WORD "BUR" MEANING A STOREHOUSE AND MODDAN, WHO WAS AN EARL OF CAITHNESS. MODDAN"S BOWER WAS THEREFORE THE STOREHOUSE OF MODDAN. SINCE ONE OF THE TRACKS ON THE ALBUM IS "BOWERMADDEN"(WRITTEN BY GROUP MEMBER IAN SINCLAIR) IT SEEMED THAT MODDAN'S BOWER WOULD BE AN APPROPRIATE NAME FOR THE RECORD, OR STOREHOUSE OF THE GROUPS FAVOURITE SONGS.
