From Moscow to Montrose…

It’s been great to get back to playing after our month off, post-Edinburgh Fringe.

After a private event up in Aberdeen we returned to Bridgehouse Hall in West Lothian last weekend, a venue we first played about 18 months ago. It’s a hall which is run – as is so often the case – by a dedicated team of volunteers who put a huge amount of effort into making the hall a vibrant hub for the community. It’s great to have the chance to play such venues.

We play Montrose in early November, but needless to say we’re even more excited about the upcoming shows we’re doing towards the end of this month! More details soon…

Chevalier’s Muster Roll – new album out now

The new album is available on CD now. You can buy it from the website by going to the BUY ALBUMS page.

Although it has not yet been released on streaming / download services, you can hear two of the tracks on the Music & Video page.

Edinburgh Fringe – 5 Star Review

As we approach the end of the first week of our run at the 2019 Edinburgh Festival Fringe, we can reflect on a week of thoroughly enjoyable shows in front of very enthusiastic audiences. We’ve managed to dust the cobwebs off some old ones but it’s also been great to introduce a few new songs to the set.

To cap it all we received a 5 STAR review from Broadway World – you can read the full review HERE.

RNIB Fundraiser – 27th June

It’s been a really busy first half of the year for us so thank you to everyone who has hosted us or come along to see one of the shows. We’ve had a great time playing a lot of venues for the first time and look forward to returning to those places in the future.

In the meantime we have one more gig before August’s season of Edinburgh Fringe shows, and that is a fundraiser for the RNIB who are raising funds for Talking Books.

The show is in the Victoria Hotel in Kirkcaldy on Thursday 27th June at 7pm. We’ll be playing two sets and are really looking forward to our first show in The Lang Toun. To buy tickets, priced £10, please click on the link below:

The Tour Continues…

Hello all. We’re back from Aberdeenshire after the first leg of this Spring tour, and are very much enthused by the warm reception we received at the gigs in the North East – huge thanks to all of you who came out to see us!

Now we’re home it’s back to work on the new album – more on that soon – and preparation for the next series of shows. April / May sees us head to Newton Dees, Fife (the mighty Carnegie Hall, Dunfermline), to the Borders and then on south to London. And after that, our focus will move to summer and, of course, the Edinburgh Fringe…

Full details are on the CONCERTS page and in the meantime you can keep track of us (and have the tech giants keep track of you) on TWITTER and on FACEBOOK.

Hogmanay at The Magnum, Edinburgh

A reminder that we’re returning to play at The Magnum in Edinburgh this New Year’s Eve.

As in the last couple of years, this gig will be FREE ENTRY and we’ll play you right through from the old year into the new. Our first set will begin about 11.15pm on Hogmanay and we’ll finish off our last set at about 1.30am.

The Magnum is on the corner of Albany Street and Dublin Street, right in the heart of the New Town but outwith the controlled area, so although it’s but a short hop from Princess Street you can come and go without the need for wristbands.

Stirling Folk Club and Drumpellier GC

The Edinburgh Festival Fringe may be finished for another year but there is plenty happening over the next while.

We’re returning to Stirling Folk Club on Monday 24th September, and really looking forward to going back to play at Bridgehaugh.

We then have a day in the West on Saturday 6th October, with a talk and performance in the afternoon at the ASLS Schools’ Conference at the University of Glasgow followed by a gig in the evening at Drumpellier Golf Club.

Looking further ahead we’ll be back at The Magnum in Edinburgh on 31st December for a special Hogmanay gig.
