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!

Well, we are full swing in the middle of Celtic Connections, and like previous years this has lived up to expectations and lack of sleep!!
Siobhan was involved in a project put together by Karine Polwart called the ‘Scottish Song book’, which entailed 100 years of Scottish songs, contemporary and traditional. The concert was on the 16th of January in the Main Auditorium of the concert hall and she did a fantastic job to a sold out crowd! It was filmed for the BBC and you can watch both of the songs that she performed on the BBC iPlayer.
Review of The Scottish Song Book
Jeana has been busy with the Celtic Connections Education project which does morning concerts in the main auditorium of the concert hall each day for school pupils and then in the afternoon the tutors go out to schools and do come and try workshops in Fiddle, Whistle, Bodhran, Singing and Dancing.
