Edinburgh Jazz & Blues Festival 2019

100% cannot wait for this gig !!!

Last year we were lucky enough to play on this exact same stage, we must have done something right to have been invited back again this year.

Piccolo stage in George Square Gardens

This will be our third visit to play in Edinburgh in 2019, and honestly the responses at gigs we have had has been very humbling. Last year was a complete sell out as we co-headlined with the amazing Jedd Potts trio. This year is a co-headline with our very good friends from Aberdeen Full Fat. We have played a lot of gigs with these guys and know this will be another cracking night ahead.

The great thing about this venue is the location, it is a pop up venue that will be there during the duration of the Edinburgh festival (that follows the Jazz & Blues festival), but the whole gardens is available as a FREE venue to soak up the atmosphere, have a sociable drink, some great food and enjoy the glorious sunshine outwith a few of the gardens official venues.

Tickets are available RIGHT NOW FROM THIS LINK, I would highly recommend buying now as all the incoming festival go-ers will buy up tickets nearer the day, so don’t leave it too late.

We have been very busy writing a lot of new songs for our next album, and will add in one or two as well as some of our much more well known songs from our previous 3 studio albums.

Come on down, its a Saturday night and promises to be one to remember

Lang may yer lum reek

To one and all best wishes for your good self, and hope you have a great 2017 !!!

It has been a crazy few months since our last update, many apologies. We had an absolute blast playing some great shows with 2 amazing acts. Which just goes to prove that the talent here in Scotland is second to none. We were lucky enough to play with Aberdeen trio Full Fat and the Ayrshire Adonis Matt Scott over quite a few shows all over Scotland. From Aberdeen to the Isle of Arran audiences were wowed and many more new music lovers have some new bands to follow. Fingers crossed we can do some more gigs with all of these guys again. We loved every minute (apart from the parking ticket in Aberdeen grrrr).

For the last 6 weeks or so, we have been honing two brand new tunes and about to demo them for more tweeking over next month or so. The tweeking will be continuing whilst honing the next three. Bringing a further five completed tunes for recording and completing album number three, for release during the summer months. As soon as we have details we will let yo know ASAP

In the meantime, here is the title track of one of my favourite album releases of 2016. Marc Ford The Vulture, enjoy

Not long...

...until we get to play some tunes all over Scotland with 2 other amazing acts.

Matt Scott from Kilmarnock is someone we have been very lucky to play with several times before, if you have never seen him get along to one of these shows, amazing stuff and a great guy. Here is a wee video he done recently

Full Fat are from Aberdeen, we played with in Dundee back in May. A 3 piece that will blow you away. Well we certainly were and know they will deliver. Here is a recent cover they recorded

Come along to one of the gigs and I can guarantee you will be entertained with top calibre banter, reasonably good looks, and some better than average music.

Keep it Dixie y'all

Hi-calorie Tour

It is with absolute great honour to be able to announce some dates we will be doing during October and November with 2 amazing Scottish acts. At present there are 4 dates the length of Scotland, there may be more dates added real soon...
 

As the above poster shows we are doing 4 shows in Bathgate, Perth, Aberdeen and Kilmarnock (so far), along with Aberdeen's own Full Fat and Kilmarnock's Matt Scott. We are lucky enough to have played a few shows with Matt over the past couple of years and just know this mixture with the absolutely outstanding Full Fat and ourselves are going to leave many people very happy at these live shows.

More details for each night will be on all the social media sites of each artist and also on our own gig page here as well.

Keep it Dixie y'all - but this time with loads of extra calories involved
