    .. .. .. ............ .. Seven of the greatest musicians from both sides of the Atlantic come together to celebrate and explore the music which travelled with the emigrants from Scotland and Ireland to America – and back again. .. .. Featuring: Kris Drever (Orkney), Sarah Mcfadyen (Orkney), Eamonn Coyne (Ireland), Tim Matthew (Scotland), Betse Ellis (Missouri), Caleb Klauder (Oregon), Sammy Lind (Oregon) .. .. As musical collaborations go, this one's as hot as it gets. When Betse Ellis of award-winning Kansas City hillbilly band The Wilders, took time off to trade fiddle tunes with Tim Matthew backstage after her appearance at The Famous Spiegeltent in Ednburgh, in 2007, the pair enjoyed the moment so much that they wanted to share the experience with others. That spawned the idea to put together a cross-cultural touring package that would feature some of the best players on the circuit. The multi-talented Kris Drever, renowned for his solo projects and appearances with top band Lau, agreed to come onboard and brought legendary Irish tenor banjo player Eamonn Coyne and fellow Orcadian Sarah McFadyen to join the party. When Betse invited her favourite jam-session friends Caleb Klauder and Stephen “Sammy” Lind - both members of the fabled US-based Foghorn Stringband - to complete the super group, this became such a seriously-exciting ‘live’ music prospect, that the Scottish Arts Council agreed to make funding available through its Tune Up programme to take the show on tour. .. These concerts will feature the best of Scottish trad alongside its American counterparts, and look at Appalachian old-time music that influences modern Scottish performers.

  • David Franks: Walkabout…

    After you've finished here, you may like to hear this folk-carol on myspace...
    Poem 230 of 230, WalkaboutsVerse
    (see my blog for details):
    CHRISTMAS SUNG SIMPLY

    As gospellers have said,
    Beneath signalling skies,
    On land dusty to tread,
    A trough in a stable
    Was the strawy first-bed
    Of a divine baby -
    The forgiving Godhead.

    A season for new hope -
    There then and here now;
    The yuletide of goodwill -
    There then and here now.

    In respect of this chance,
    Beneath bright or dark skies,
    Faith's the star that we glance
    Attending Christ's churches
    And trying to enhance,
    With singing and ritual,
    Our God-loving stance.

    A...

    Poem 162 of 230, WalkaboutsVerse
    (please see my blog):
    TEES TO TYNE: FIRST IMPRESSIONS - SUMMER 2001

    Where traditions are not so rare;
    Sea, country and works scent the air;
    A multitude of monuments,
    Planted tubs and patterned pavements.

    The longish pedestrian malls;
    The remnants of defensive walls;
    "Broken-roofed buildings" are a gauge
    Of the respect for heritage.

    Wheat, rape and pines in the fields;
    Estuaries guarded by shields;
    Long sandy beaches and wide scenes;
    Romantic-ruin go-betweens.

    Rivers in parts licked by trees,
    Or fringed by boat clubs, wharfs, gantries,
    And crossed by practical delights -
    Varied spans, forming pleasing sights.

    Fine churches headed at Durham;
    Football kits ad infinitum;
    Kept castles - one for study;
    Masonry behind masonry.

    And, with moulding-works out that way,
    It’s somewhere for a longer stay..?

    Hi guys,
    I enjoyed your set at the Tall Ship - the weather might have been blowing wind and rain but inside was a warm and cosy venue of music..
    Thanks it was much fun. I got some fun pics, the lighting was warm although the venue is confining.
    I’ll post some photos on a set on flickr soon and will let you know. (have posted one image on my page)
