29th of August
Well folks, it’s been a while since I updated my blog and for that I humbly apologise. I think i have been under a bit of a spell in the last few months, being preoccupied with certain events in Scotland… Buy today I snapped out of it when I got the chance to scratch a little cross on a long awaited piece of paper. This is my vote in the Scottish Independence Referendum… I will be touring in the US on the fateful day. Sticking it in the post box was an unexpectedly uplifting experience. Whatever happens Scotland will never be the same again. We have rediscovered an appetite for political involvement on a massive scale which can only bode well for keeping our politicians on a shorter leash..
I have just about finished another solo album of great old Scottish songs, a kind of second volume to my last release Still. It will be available come October.
I have been jotting around Scotland quite a lot over the last few months and will be posting loads of pictures shortly- I promise…
