Hi folks,

Hope your all well, it’s been a while since I last posted so thought I would give a wee update to what’s going on.

Had a great trip to India in March, we made a start to our 3rd album which will hopefully be out early 2013. The boys are over in June for a wee tour so please check www.indiaalba.com for more info.

Had a mini tour at the end of March with Salsa Celtica and we also made a start to our new studio album which is long overdue as it was 6 years since we were last in the studio together.

I’m up in Aviemore at the moment rehearsing with Charlie Mckerron and Marc Clement for a gig in Braemar on Saturday. It’s great to be playing some of Charlie’s tunes!

So from Braemar I’ll be flying off to New York and Toronto as part of the Visit Scotland team, really looking forward to the trip.

On 16th I’ll be going into the studio with Ali Hutton and Duncan Lyall to make a start on my debut album which I’ve been planning for the last year, can’t wait to see how it turns out. (fingers crossed)

I’ll be heading up to Shetland Folk Festival for the first time in May, got gigs with Treacherous Orchestra and Jarlath Henderson so should be great. Hopefully I’ll come back alive!

All the Best

Ross

Hi folks,

Just wanted to wish everyone all the very best for 2012.

Had a lovely day up in Pitlochry remembering the great times had with Gordon! We started off at Jock and Francis Duncan’s house, Gordon’s parents. We stopped in for a bowl of broth but were graced with a three course delight. Thanks to them for their warm hospitality! We then headed over to the cemetery to pay our respects. We were piped over by Ian Duncan, Gordons brother. We toasted Gordon with a few drams and took turns in playing a few tunes. Thanks to Ali, Ian, Gus and Tina for a great day!

Gone but not forgotten!

Hey,

Had a great wee tour with Salsa Celtica over the last few weeks the bands sounding brilliant, we’ve even managed to get some new material together for a new studio album that we’ll be recording next year! Last gig is on Saturday in the Brewery Arts Centre in Kendal hope to see some of you there.

All the Best
