A Good Excuse To Wear A Suit
In 2003, Hadrian's Wall released their much anticipated album "A Good Excuse to wear a Suit". This album was recorded over a six month period that started in December of 2002. It showcases the songwriting ability of Neil Emberg and Richard Irwin. Both Emberg and Irwin, who started the band have come a long way. Their ongoing struggle to keep things fresh and new is what keeps Hadrian's Wall on their toes.

Live
In August 2001, the band recorded their first live album at the Glengarry Highland Games in Maxville, Canada. Aptly named "Live", the recording captured a powerful performance in front of a rowdy 2000 + hometown crowd. It's a non-stop, straight forward party album. It's mostly traditional tunes and songs, mixed in with some Johnny Cash. The highlight of the concert was when John Allan Cameron hopped on stage to sing Barrett's Privateers.
