Just listen to this album very very very interesting Liking this a lot, will have to got for it and give it another listen just to be sure

Can I also throw in a curved ball, has anyone listened to/ heard of Martyn Bennett?

If not plz check out, they said dance music and bagpipes would never work WRONG,

Get yer new year of to a flyer trust me you wont regret it

At 32 a said loss to the folk music scene in Scotland, what a talent, genius is an often overused word but in his case

Had the joy of seeeing him many many times ever time it was fantastic, but King Tuts in Glasgow was the best 400 people jammed into a fairly small venue, atmos like no other and he was down in the crowd doing his thing, will live with me for the rest of my days
