We’re really proud of our Iain who was asked to sit in for seven songs at Jim Lauderdale’s gig on Sunday 13th November at Oran Mor in Glasgow, at Jim’s invitation. Good looking as Iain is, Jim had only a very slightly more glamorous guest player at his recent London gig – none other than the oscar-winning Gwyneth Paltrow.
With a raft of Grammy nominations under his belt, Jim’s songs have been recorded by the likes of George Jones and George Strait. He’s co-written with the mighty Buddy Miller, and has played in Lucinda Williams and Elvis Costello’s bands.
And this is the second time he’s asked Iain to play with him. Go Iain!

Summer holiday season has begun and to celebrate we’re packing the bug spray and doing a (very) mini tour of our homeland. Two brand new venues for us, a local radio slot and a return visit to the foot of Ben Nevis. If you’re out exploring, do drop by.
Howdy sun-seekers. June’ll be busting out all over with a whole bunch of different gigs. This Friday 3rd we’re heading westwards with the setting sun to Glasgow to play at the Vagabond Social Club, sharing the night with singer-songwriters Martin McLaughlin and Jamie Flett. Friday 10th we’re playing a new but local venue to us, the lovely Reverie Bar in Edinburgh’s Newington. Sunday 12th we’re doing an afternoon slot at The Village in Leith as part of the 2011 Leith Festival (seems like only yesterday since the last one…) so please head over for a restful afternoon of rockin’ rootsy-power pop. And Sunday 19th we’re playing your favourite venue and ours, the Barony Bar, where George Stott from the Go Figures will be joining us for a full electric line up. Man, there’s so much to live for!
