Pop up Medicine Show -Chatting with Dawn Bartlet at Daisy & Stanleys Emporium Nairn
Dawn Bartlet lives a more sedate life these day as custodian of a community interest old curiosity shop in the High Street of Nairn. However this thinly belies those halcyon years of Rock n Roll when she was at the heart of the Scottish music scene as publicist trusted with building the careers of the likes of Deacon Blue, Texas, Aztec Camera, The Bluebells, Hue & Cry, Del Amitrie and on and on, she worked world wide with superstars as diverse as Dolly Parton, Brian Wilson, Neil Diamond, George Michael and Bon Jovi.
So how did she land here in the picturesque Moray coast town of Nairn and how did she reinvent her life post music industry to open Daisy & Stanley as a community interest company with a group of mid life carers to bring therapy and healing through fashion and a love of couture to the streets of this wee Highland toon?
I'm gonna find out more at noon stay tuned.

Right then this is not just to celebrate how great a songwriter Phil Lee is, it also augers, Medicine Music's Belladrum Tartan Heart Festival programme launch (High Noon May 9th) and to give you a heads up on other Phil Lee dates this summer.
Phil is the only man ever to front both Crazy Horse and The Flying Burrito Brothers - he never did front The Briar Hoppers but he did get his start in Show business playing drums on the iconic Homer Briarhopper Drye and his Briar Hoppers Country Breakfast Show (just ask anyone who grew up in North Carolina in the 60's about that show)
Phil Lee our special guest down in Moose Hollow at Bella, please visit
https://www.facebook.com/belladrumfestivalpottingshedstage
and like invite your friends fans and family to, keep an eye out here, this is where I’ll make the announcement and will be featuring all the artists daily from here.
I’m really keen on this being extra-special this year - It is always special – however this is our 15th year of The Potting Shed Stage and my 20th year of Belladrum’s, I was in with the bricks with this Fest so it’s already a very special year for a very special event for this pilgrim, there is a P ‘n’ J piece pinned to the wall which tells the story pretty well.
The festival theme this year is ‘Love’, so having Phil Lee ‘the Mighty King Of Love’ himself as our special guest is particularly apt. We’re tarting the place up like an Elvis Vegas Wedding Chapel especially.

from the archive - Lazarus Nichols Alum Creek House Concert Austin Texas
00:00 Tuesday Texas Time, USA todays from the archive iMTV - international Moose TV video is by way of congratulations to the musical and human force that is Lazarus Nichols ( 'The Texas Alien' ) on the imminent release of 'The Rise and ... Subsequent Fall of the Texas Alien' self release to all digital platform on May 31st:- promoted to US media by Broken Jukebox PR to Europe by Medicine Show Promo.
Laz is a Yankee with a dream as big as Texas, he packed a hat full of songs, his then young family and as much as one car will carry and headed for Austin, he landed here and soon started this beautiful house concert, cooked Greek Food (family recipes) made a gig for the locals and opened his doors to traveling musicians, recorded and filmed the events and worked hard to get more gigs to help keep tours together - This he did for me Ruth Purves Smith and The Moose big style. The Picture is the Merican Moose on his patio as if it was made for her.
The Gringo Pistoleros are just testament to his open heart and hard work, he has assembled a super group of Austin's finest on this album, many of who have also played this House Concert and shared he and Hanna's astounding hospitality

Monday Medicine Show Radio
Feels good to be back on radio, Monday night will mark three years since Brother Mark departed and The Wayward Ellen Boys were severed.
Truth be told I haven’t felt much like doing radio without him till now, concentration my efforts on iMTV - international Moose TV as a broadcast outlet and promotion tool, but I’ve missed the intimacy of radio and community radio is king.
So I’m very pleased to say I’m joining MKB Independent Radio’s unique international team on a Monday night at 8pm, it will be my delight and mission to bring Mary Kathleen Burke’s listeners a wayward mix of independently minded Roots Music and Classic Golden Era Country, sessions collected from the road and broadcast live from The Medicine Show Radio Moose Mobile, and not just in deference to Brother Mark, there will be yodelling! See you there.

Clive Carrol live on iMTV from The Moose Mobile with Rob Ellen
Clive is a stringed instrument phenomenon, he already was before I meet him at the age of 18, on that occasion he was engaged by the 1rst Ullapool Guitar Festival along with Adrian Byron Burns the late John Renbourn, and Isaac Guillory to perform a John Renbourn piece in celebration of that inaugural event.
Since then he has worked with more guitar greats such as John Williams, Tommy Emmanuel, Xuefei Yang, Ralph Towner, D'Gary, and Vishwa Mohan Bhatt. He has toured across Europe, Australia, the Middle East, and North America.
To date, Clive has released four solo albums; “Sixth Sense”, “The Red Guitar”, “Life in Colour” and "The Furthest Tree".
Clive has also written, performed, and conducted music for television and film, most notably collaborating with John Renbourn again to compose the music for the film “Driving Lessons”, which features Julie Walters and Rupert Grint of Harry Potter fame.
So who best top pay tribute to his friend John at Celtic Connections than Clive Carroll, I'll talk about all of that and of his quest to walk the entire UK coastline (true story) and of other friends and family no doubt.
Cant wait.
