About Mick West

Mick West is regarded as one of Scotland's finest interpreters of traditional song. Together with his band, they have been described as a must for any fan of Scottish song. The current line up of the band are Fraser Fifield (sax, whistles and percussion), Stevie Lawrence (Bouzouki) Frank McLaughlin (Guitar) and new addition to the band Ali Hutton (Pipes,whistles,bodhran, guitar). On hearing the latest album "A poor man's labour", the U.S. folk magazine Dirty linen stated "Why is this man not a household name?"

Mick and the band recently performed live at the BBC in Glasgow. Video footage of the gig can be found on the bbc website by following these links

Faber Optimé	Jul 16 2009 10:09 AM Hey there, Here's one from left field... Ever wondered what to do in the event of a nuclear threat? A while ago I found stuff that inspired me to make this film: Living Under the Shadow of the Nuclear Umbrella Both artistic (ensure you get the background music!) and educational, it primarily comprises official British government civil defence advice. Though source materials are quite aged, much remains relevant today. I encourage all to visit the YouTube page to learn more (Show support! Rate! Comment!) and responsibly circulate as widely as possible, here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UaIim3Rj7L4 Help to raise awareness. Say have you checked out my web site recently? Take care and keep in touch. Best, Faber. "Just a guy trying to make the world a better place."

Caudio González Maldonado	Jun 30 2009 7:34 PM Siempre he sentido que el artista en sí tiene un compromiso ineludible con los demás, con la filantropía y lo social. Que entre los matices de penas y alegrías, carencias y desamores, abandonos inciertos y soledades de vida, el artista es quien primero siente el aroma de los dolores de su gente, de su pueblo. El cantor popular como trovador viajó de pueblo en pueblo, de ciudad en ciudad de lugar en lugar, entreteniendo y contando historias de vida, transmitiendo cual periódico viviente las noticias a su gente. Entregando consuelos y alegrías a la población humilde y sencilla. Se fue transformando en un actor imprescindible entre su gente. A lo largo de mi tierra he visto tantos dolores penurias y sinsabores como sucede en la guerra y esta dolencia me aterra me consume el corazón sobrepasa mi razón ver que la sola pobreza con admirable certeza sigue sembrando el dolor Yo no tengo la solución a tanta desesperanza mas yo hago mi labranza con mi canto y mi canción con esta meditación sobre el dolor de mi gente quiero dejar un presente que sirva como consuelo como venido del cielo para todos los presentes. CLAUDIO GONZÁLEZ MALDONADO CON EL MAS PROFUNDO RESPETO Y ADMIRACIÓN
Southern Remedy	Jun 29 2009 5:06 PM Ha ha :) Gin is the cheap mans wine! Thanks for checking the tunes out

Taquinho Noronha	Jun 26 2009 5:59 PM Mick West my cherished: Since 1988, when I visited Britain and Ireland I've been beguiled by the Celtic music which has sprung from that region. Your awesome music does remind me of my journey to Peterhead, and then by car to John O'Groats, on a ferryboat to and back from the Orkney Islands, then down to Glasgow and flew to Dublin. All the way long, radio-stations played Makem & Clancy, Chris Ball, Dubliners, Inna Miller and Foster & Allen lovely songs. Your own voice is rather similar to Liam Clancy's and must I say "I was a young man" and "Twas a for our rightfu king" are my best-loved numbers out of your so fine repertoire. Knowing my music also bears a common ancestral root, I mean those of African, Irish and British origin, I'd be glad if you could also listen to my simple provincial tunes and send me any desirable comments. Please, accept a fraternal musical embrace from your Brazilian admirer,ever, Taquinho Noronha
