February gig – change of date

Leave a reply

The gig planned for February 21st, in aid of Australian Bushfire Relief, has been rescheduled – new date and details as soon as we have them!

February gig…

I played my first solo gig of the year when I returned to Bar Brig for the Sunday session on 19th January, and it was nice to get the first one under my belt while the year was still fresh! It felt good to mix up the set too, with a few from Volcanoes plus a couple of oldies which I hadn’t aired for quite a while.

I’m playing in Edinburgh again next month – Friday 21st February – at a benefit to help those affected by the bush fires in Australia. I was over there back in early 2009 when there was a particularly bad fire season on the East Coast, and saw the devastation caused by the fires. Details of the gig are still to be confirmed but I’ll post them as soon as they’re sorted.

Meantime, you can hear my music here on the site or on the usual streaming platforms. Heck, you can even go old-school and BUY the music if you want!

Live at The Empress – 5th / 12th December

I’ll be playing my last two solo gigs of the year at The Empress (Broughton Street, Edinburgh) on:

Thursday 5th December (8pm)
and
Thursday 12th December (7.30pm)

Both shows are free entry, and may just feature one or two of my Festive numbers…

RLS Day – Requiem on BBC Radio

RLS
November 13th saw the anniversary of writer Robert Louis Stevenson’s birth marked by RLS Day. To tie in with the day, Iain Anderson gave a spin to my track Requiem on his BBC Radio Scotland show.

Requiem, taken from the most recent album Volcanoes, uses the words of RLS’ poem of the same name and marries them to an original tune. Also featured on the recording are my Sorries partner, Martin Philip, and Alan R Davison.
