I have just posted some films on my Facebook page too- please do and take a wee look :) 

We had a BLAST at the Jazz bar last night!!!! Perfomed a couple of  new tunes - including a very cheeky ( and very ancient!) blues number!
I wil be posting some film from the evening really soon.....

We had a lovely guest join us on stage for a few tunes too - Jonathan Green...we wil have to have him perform with us again very soon! 

.....I foolishly agreed that i would play banjo on a tune or two soon........ oh lordy....

i think until that fateful day  I will ask the amazing Duncan Findlay to bring hs banjo along to one of our upcoming shows... Duncan is truly a banjo master..... an absolute delight to hear on some of our breakneck speed tunes!


Very VERY excited about our Jazz bar  gig on July 17th.... STUNNING line up  for our pre-album launch teaser....( new album is called 'Indeedy I Do') 

At the Jazz bar will be- Dick Lee,  Chris Greive, Duncan Findlay, Ed Kelley, Campbell Normand and Ken Mathison...plus moi...it's goning to be epic!

I am GIDDY with excitement that Ali Affleck and Vieux Carre are performing at so many festivals this year.....Particularly that we wil be at the Speigeltent for the EDINBURGH JAZZ AND BLUES FESTIVAL on JUly 25th at 6pm.  We will be sharing the stage with the festival FOUNDER Mr. MIke Hart!! what an honor indeed!
