To all who hold Scotland in their hearts
           

and congratulations to Martin & Margaryta who have chosen St. Andrew's Day to get married. I'm proud to have been asked to sing at the service.

 

Video: Davie Murdoch who does my website has put together a video for Scottish Dawn , using the track as a background to some stunning Scottish scenery. Wee worth a look at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vhjOhIOPVT0 

Many thanks again Davie.

 

Quiz: Many thanks to all of you who entered the November quiz. The Christmas goody bag was won by Hilary Neilson of Stirling.

 

This month, I have three copies of  a cd with 15 tracks recorded live at the Memorial Hall in a Lanark. I was joined onstage by Johnny MacKinnon on keyboards and on the last few songs by Trilogy and various members of The St. Mary's Choir and Larbert Tartan Army. It was a great night and I believe the cd captures the atmosphere well.
