Scottish Folksinger and Songwriter
Yesterday was my last trip of the year to do some snowboaring here at Glenshee. It was tough going with high winds and very poor visibility, although it would clear up every now and then just to tease. The evening before I had a great gig at Stirling Folk Club, a really local trip for me, I was back home before midnight!
Always loved this sign….
Had my mum round for lunch yesterday as it was Mothers Day. Winter has returned just when it was feeling like spring..A day of snow showers with some really massive snowflakes..
Im playing at Stirling Folk Club tonight, see concerts page for details..
Having problems uploading pictures onto my blog. Here are some from the tail end of my West Coast Tour…this is the impressive Mt Washington which is confusingly in Oregon…
The beautiful Deschutes river in Bend Oregon..
The Space Needle in Seattle as seen on the opening still in episodes of Frazier which the locals tell me was filmed entirely in LA.
Elk who don’t take any crap from anyone..
the 101 out to Port Angeles which looks really like Argyll in Scotland..
Had to wait for almost an hour whilst a nuclear submarine came through a draw bridge on the way back to Tacoma..
Took this picture at sports outfitters Cabelas just for the halibut…
Downtown Seattle…. perhaps the newest city in America Home to Microsoft, Amazon, Starbucks and many other modern global enterprises.
Down in Edinburgh yesterday to do a live broadcast for Radio Wales. the presenter was Frank Hennessey a lovely guy and great singer/songwriter from Cardiff. Scotland were playing Wales at rugby in the city but they lost in a very turgid game. Edinburgh was swarming with Welsh folks who are wonderfully well behaved and friendly especially since they won and are still in with a chance of winning the Six Nations Championship if they beat England in a fortnight..
Popped down to my local music shop in Perth to get a few bits and pieces. Perth has some great shops and Bandwagon is one of them. The service side is excellent, Pete Caban has been running a music shop in Perth for decades. Online is all very well until you need something really fast or fixed quickly. And you can be sure that unlike many of these online behemoths that the local guy is actually paying tax in Britain! rant over..
