Ian McNabb solo gig in Feb or March at the [email protected] green hotel venue in Kinross. Let's hope there is no repeat of what happened the last time one of your heroes was booked for a solo gig there 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With the masively talented buddie Jim Keilt on lead guitar and an otherwise quite young band Davey had the crowd in the palm of hs hand from the off. An awesome set of pipes that are still in fine fettle rattling through a set of standards and self-composed songs. Trust me, if you get the chance go and see this amazing band when they hit the road. No-one will be disappointed. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuddieinEK Posted December 9, 2022 Author Report Share Posted December 9, 2022 Best ever live version of The Saints Are Coming last night when Richard Jobson and Martin Metcalfe combined forces for a two hour WOW of a gig! The stories were as good as the music. Great night. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

faraway saint Posted February 4 Report Share Posted February 4 After seeing the "Elvis" movie last year we've become a tad overly interested, so much so we'd booked to see 3 tribute acts this year. First up, last night, was Johnny Lee Memphis at The Whitehall Theatre in Dundee. It certainly wasn't a sell out which was slightly disappointing. We needn't have worried, the quality of the 4 piece band, the two female backing singers and "Elvis" himself made it a great nights entertainment. Johnny is Scottish and he brought that into the performance at just the right times to keep the audience fully engaged. His voice was, IMO, a good 7/10 but when you add in his charisma and amusing patter it made this a good 8.5/10 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuddieinEK Posted February 4 Author Report Share Posted February 4 Tuesday night was Beth Nielsen Chapman at the Old Fruitmarket. Sublime. Very powerful and emotional. I bought the tickets 3 years ago. Cancelled twice. Her first husband died in 94. She remarried, but tragically, her second husband died in December. Both of cancer, which she herself has had. She was going to cancel the tour but her husband's last wish was that if she was able, the tour should go ahead. She smashed it. Great performance. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuddieinEK Posted February 4 Author Report Share Posted February 4 Thursday night was my third gig of the week. Another cracker. It was the Celtic Connections album launch of Consequences, the 12 track collaborative album by Edinburgh singer songwriter Kim Edgar and various guest artists. The 12 tracks were released one a month throughout 2022, having been written during lockdown. It involved artists from Scotland, Wales, Finland, Miscou Island in Canada, Ontario Canada and Taiwan! The format was simple but meaningful. The album would be played in entirety, in order, with each collaborator first performing one of their own tracks to show why Kim wanted to work with them in the first place. I love Horse, Boo Hewerdine, James Grant and Louis Abbott of Admiral Fallow, and was so thrilled that they were taking part. They were all class acts. I loved discovering some new artists that I now want to hear more of. Welsh singer Dan Bettridge was a class act and great discovery. The album and therefore running order was as follows... 1. ANY WISHING STAR (written by Ron Sexsmith & Kim Edgar) 2. SAVE MYSELF (RUN AWAY) (written by Horse McDonald & Kim Edgar ) 3. THE EDGE OF SHAME (written by Boo Hewerdine & Kim Edgar) 4. THE ROLLING SEA (written by Dan Bettridge & Kim Edgar) 5. FIFTY TO ONE (written by Goodnight Louisa & Kim Edgar) 6. IT ONLY TAKES A SILENCE (written by J-P Piirainen & Kim Edgar) 7. VENT FOU (written by Sandra Le Couteur & Kim Edgar) 8. CORNERSTONE (written by James Grant & Kim Edgar) 9. I DREAM (written by Stone & Kim Edgar) 10. RIPPLES (written by Rachel Sermanni & Kim Edgar) 11. WHISPER PINK (written by Louis Abbott & Kim Edgar) 12. IN THE LONG RUN (written by William Crighton & Kim Edgar) The fantastic backing band also deserves a special mention. A very memorable night indeed. The album is highly recommended. Check out www.kimedgar.com An ambitious project by Kim Edgar that has resulted in something very special. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The concert was lots of different Scottish artists such as The Skids, Midge Ure and loads of others. Richard Jobson had a very powerful voice and that was the first I'd heard him sing live. I can only imagine what his voice was like when younger. I grew up knowing his name more for his work in films. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was billed as "Carol and Friends". Tom Urie recited a poem by Robert Tannahill at it and Sir Tony Fitzpatrick and Gordon Scott were in attendance. I think they raffled a signed jersey at it if I remember correctly. A great night out, all about the best of Paisley and it's history. I think she performed a couple of Gerry Rafferty songs too. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuddieinEK Posted April 17 Author Report Share Posted April 17 What a weekend. Saturday night was a triple bill 4 hour extravaganza. Three brilliant artists. 4 hours of entertainment. All for £12 The Georgian Hotel in Coatbridge with gigs run by www.50rpm.co.uk Adriana Spina from Coatbridge. Mike and Ruthy from New York. Danni Nicholls from Nashville. Stunning. Stunning. Better still was Friday night when I chanced my arm.amd asked Danni Nicholls if she fancied a house gig on the night before. She was in the area and doing nothing anyway. The outcome was a private house gig for 23 incredibly fortunate souls! Best musical £15 I've sent. Truly memorable experience. ♥️😎 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
