Rambling Folk

20/12/2024

A big thank you to everybody who has taken part in Rambling Folk over this last year. The Artists who have sent in their music, the wonderful Poets who have read out their work and as always, the people who have tuned in and been in touch. The show is nothing without you.

I hope you have a fantastic Christmas and a very happy New Year

I'm absolutely in love with the Silver Threads - Songs of Paisley album by Evelyn Laurie and Neil Thomson. I was lucky enough to get an early listen and I'm blown away! They’ll both be joining next week’s podcast. The album will be available in our store for everyone, and trust me, it’s incredible, you’re all going to love it!

No featured artist on this week’s Rambling Folk means there is less chat from me and much more time to play the music that you love! The artists this week include Fraser Morgan, Simon Mayor, John Graham and Jim Jack, Jon Cocker, Miller & O'Neill, Old Blind Dogs, Martin Flett, Skelpt, and Neil Thomson
Birnam CD.

Blue Rose Code play the Tolbooth Stirling this Wednesday night the 6th November, followed by Findlay Napier on Friday 8th, so I’ll bring you something from both of them.

As always in the second hour we’ll ‘Pause For A Poem’ which this week comes from George White from Cupar in Fife.

I hope you can join me
