Drumming up support (boom-boom) for the #edfringe shows last week, in the face of a less-than-ideal-for-kilts wind! We're back to begin our final six shows from TODAY (Mon 21st) at 4.10pm, Greenside at Riddle's Court, just off the Royal Mile. tickets.edfringe.com/whats-o… #Edinburgh

Song-Circler @douglaskay_com in action with his folk duo #TheSorries in a couple of weeks, warming you up before the Scotland v England match with some traditional songs. Expect tales of glorious defeats and gallant failure - and that's before we even get to the football!
Two weeks tomorrow (Fri 18th June) we perform together in the same room for the 1st time in over a year - part of the build up to Eng v Scotland in the #Euro2021 (or is it still #Euro2020 ?!) Championships. We'll be live over Zoom pre kick-off, tix from: eventbrite.com/e/the-sorries…

One of the Circle mainstays, @Alan_R_Davison, has been hard at work on a project in aid of #MentalHealthUK. He re-recorded his song #Superhero in lockdown with the help of friends, family and fellow musos. The video and details of where to listen are at: superhero2020.com

The second of our Virtual Sessions sees @douglaskay_com playing a brand new song and telling us a bit about how it came to be written. youtu.be/6yFrLqO8VHw

I'm back @bar_brig on Leith Walk for my first solo gig of the year on Sunday 19th January. It's an afternoon set - 4.15pm - so I'm sure there'll be a lovely, chilled atmosphere. For those who haven't seen me play before, I'll probably be looking a bit like this...
