New Album

June 28th, 2010

Hi all!

It is summer and hurray because we are finally getting some lovely weather!

We have some exciting news too.  We are  doing another album “Shadows Tall” with Greentrax and we are in the process of recording it just now! We are very lucky to have Mattie Foulds producing it and we have some great guest musicians on it too.  The studio where we are recording is situated in the Borders in Scotland with lovely scenery all around.  With this lovely weather we have been recording in what can only be called a sauna! ‘Toastie toastie’!  We had a slight incident with a bumble bee but Mattie saved the day!

We are having a lot of fun recording the album and are looking forward to having it all done for the release in October/November.

We hope you all have a great summer!

End Of Celtic Connections for another Year!

February 11th, 2010

Well that is Celtic Connections finished for another year! And as excepted it did not fail to excite! With all the venues spread throughout Glasgow there was always something to go and see!

We enjoyed or gig on the last weekend of the festival at Oran Mor. Thank you to all who attended, and for their wonderful singing! It was like having our own choir!

Celtic certainly was not lacking great artists. We were very lucky to meet and make lots of new acquaintances.

One of our favourite spots to haunt at the weekends was the ‘House of Song’ at the festival club, run by Doris Rougvie – a lovely singer and dear friend of ours. The ‘House of Song’ is a warm and friendly place to go if you fancy singing a song, joining in with others or just listening, all are welcome.

Anyway, alas it is over, for another year anyway! Hope all who attended it had a great time, just like we did!

Adios!

Scottish Showcase Weekend

January 28th, 2010

We are very excited about this upcoming weekend. It is the Scottish Showcase weekend and we will be performing in Oran Mor on Saturday night at 7.30pm. Please come along if you can. We will be joined onstage by Tia Files (Guitar) from the band Bodega – Winners of the ‘Folk Band of the Year’ at the MG Alba Scots Trad Music Awards 2009 and James MacKenzie, (pipes, whistles and flute) Winner of ‘Pipe Idol’ at the 2009 Piping Live Festival.

Jeana will be hopping on stage that same night at the O2 ABC arena with ‘The Chair’ playing fiddle and doing the famous chicken dance. Always great fun! If you miss our gig we will also be performing at the Festival Club in the Exhibition Hall which is situated within the Concert Hall and also in the Festival Club, which is situated within the Arts School buildings on Renfrew Street (Over 18 only).

So plenty of fun banter to be had by all!
