'Is It The Sea?' captures, in remarkable clarity, performances from the Bonnie Prince's sold out tour of Scotland and Ireland in the Spring of 2006. The tour found Billy in the company of Edinburgh's Harem Scarem on close harmonies, fiddle, flute, banjo and accordion and Glasgow's wunderkind Alex Neilson on drums and percussion.

Arranged with a distinctly Caledonian air, the songs are animated by Harem Scarem's grasp of traditional harmony singing and Neilson's stately passive / aggressive playing. To the fore is Bonny Billy's rich and resolute on-stage voice.
