title


This page collects all the releases that feature the McGarrigles as guest artists. Often simply adding backing vocals but occasional instrumentation as well. The date on the left represents a recording date (although this is almost always an approximation which appears in the form 19xx.00.00); the date on the right a release date.There are complications introduced by compilation CDs like Odditties and House of Rufuswhich contain material from various years - rather than distribute the contents out as individual tracks they have been left in situ and added at the end of this page. However, reference to those individual tracks has been made in appropriate pages.

Brief details regarding McGarrigle participation are given for guest appearances but not for entries which feature their own albums etc. More precise details regarding each of the entries below may be accessed by clicking on the album image.
