Since it’s summer and in some places the heat has killed off several brain cells or at least has them taking some time off. So, rather than post a lot of music on Fridays, for a while we will spotlight just one artist. This week we are shining the light on one of our...

This Music Friday I decided to use videos of some of our favorites in case people had never seen them. It’s always good to put a face with the music. So grab your favorite brew, some pop corn and sit back and enjoy the show. Colenso Parade Fighting for Jane Paddy Nash & the...

Here are what some of our favorite performers are up to. Andrew Huggan has just gotten the support role at Skerryvore’s King Tut’s Gig in Glasgow. Thrilled for Andrew. He was the one who told me about Skerryvore to begin with. Siobhan Day will be performing at another L E D event at McHugh’s...
