I’ve just recently finished up recording the tracks for a new studio album out at Analog Chew in Santee, California. I hope to have this album released later in the year once it’s been mixed and mastered.

Keep checkin’ back folks!

Once again I have been nominated for ‘Best Acoustic Act’ at the 2012 San Diego Music Awards. I’m very honoured to have won it last year thanks to my wonderful fans and friends!!!

Let’s see if we can do it again!! This year will be very hard due to the level of acts nominated!

I can confirm that today I was booked to perform at this year’s new ‘Open air at the square’ format at the Stonehaven Hogmany celebrations!!

This link from the Scotland TV website tells you a wee bit more about it. I’ll have more info later in the year on my Tour section.

Well, 2011 was a great year for me. Toured several times, wrote new songs, met new friends, saw new Countries, got a lot of radio play, played on the Telly, won a San Diego Music Award, filmed a couple of tours, played on the Isle of Skye, enjoyed many, many nights of laughter, music and ‘drink’ all while having my lovely wife with me. However, most importantly, the news I’m going to be a Father was by far and away the best of the best (once it sunk in)!!

I look forward to all the new exciting things that will happen in 2012 and will continue to focus on the postives as opposed to the negatives which will be discarded like a fireball into Stoney harbour!

2012 for me will be a tale of 3 Dragons, and I’m going to embrace it with a lot of energy. As for the Mayans, they can kiss my arse!

Have a great New Year everybody, I hope your 2012 will be everything you want it to be!

Thursday the 8th September saw us perform live on San Diego television news channel KUSI. We played for an hour or so and I believe they used little snippets here and there to help us promote the artwalk by the bay set we performed on Sep. 11th.

I hope to get this video up on here asap……..watch this space!

It’s with great delight (and a slightly sore heid) I can announce, I won ‘Best Acoustic Act’ at the 2011 San Diego Music Awards! I thanked a few people last night in my acceptance speech but there are so many more I wish I could have thanked before getting the stage hook!

This win was down to all my friends and fans who voted for me and pushed the name out there. It’s a messy business but we got there in the end. Without you this couldn’t and wouldn’t have happened. I love you all.
Cheers

Friends,

It’s with great excitement that I announce ‘Celtic crossroads’.

Irish fiddler extraordinaire Patric Petrie (of Skelpin), Irish singer songwriter David Lally and myself are holding an event at Oceanside’s delightful Sunshine Brooks Theatre. This evening of music will be held on Saturday the 25th of June at 730pm. The title is a suggestion of all our ‘celticness’ and how they intertwine and cross paths………..or something to that effect!

The format will be a showcase of our own individual styles combined with some collaborations between each artist and some special guests. Members of my band, including James Hood on lead guitar and Scottish Percussionist John McCallum will join me on stage to perform songs from my Internationally acclaimed album Doricana. Quite possibly a few Scottish favourites will be thrown into the Celtic cauldron and we’ll see how it tastes!

Tickets for this unique evening can be purchased direct from myself, David or Patric. They can also be purchased at the door and through the venue’s website:

Tickets are currently priced at $15.

Please feel free to ‘share’ this event on Facebook too:

This will probably be my last performance in Southern California till the end of the Year. So, I hope to see all my friends and fans come out and enjoy a evening of music friendship and laughter.

‘…we are all connected by invisible lines…’

I’ll be embarking on a tour from Seattle on the 28th April. I’ll then be heading South through Ocean Shores, Portland, Vancouver (WA), Lake Oswego and then performing at the Sacramento Highland Games on the weekend of May 7th and 8th. Tickets for games can be found at:

Keep checking the tour section (on the book shelf) for gig info.

It’s with much sadness that I have to report that my Japanese tour has been postponed due to current circumstances in the country. My heart goes out to all affected by these recent events.

I hope to rearrange dates (and add more) later in the Year.
Warmest thanks
Colin
