From this evening I will be hanging up the mic as I desperately need to rest and reset. I wish to thank everyone who has been part of my journey for the last twelve years with Big Boots & Celtic Roots. This is not goodbye as Lionheart Radio are kindly leaving the door ajar for me to return should I feel able to somewhere down the line. So all I can say for now is a huge, sincere thank you for your support, friendship and music over the years and keep watching this space…

Happy New Year to each and every one of you.

30/12/2023

Tonight will see the final Big Boots & Celtic Roots for the foreseeable future as we wave goodbye to 2023 in readiness for the New Year. Due to work commitments and some health issues which together leave me constantly exhausted I feel the need to take a sabbatical so this evening we are going to party hard and go out on a high and who knows, maybe I will return at some point in the future once I have rejuvenated and reset. We have a cracking End Of Year/Farewell show lined up with a lovely 'BBCR Three In A Row' chosen by John D. Cater.
It's a miserable forecast weather-wise so snuggle in, grab a dram and join Flossie & I between 7-10pm UK time, live locally on Lionheart Radio 107.3FM and globally online at www.lionheartradio.com
Let's party like it's 1999!

Big Boots & Celtic Roots hits the airwaves tonight from Pennan in Aberdeenshire (albeit it is a pre-record). Of course our 'BBCR Three In A Row' just had to have a Local Hero theme, given we are round the headland from the fictional village of Ferness while celebrating forty years since the film was released.

We look forward to your company between 7-10pm UK time on Lionheart Radio 107.3FM around Alnwick, and globally online at www.lionheartradio.com

I will be presenting a special tribute show to Bruce Guthro on Saturday 23rd September.

It would have been this weekend but unfortunately I will be away so had put together a pre-recorded show which had already been sent off to the studio when the sad news broke.

I'm asking all you Riggies/Bruce Guthro fans out there to offer your suggestions of the tracks which you would like included and any stories/anecdotes/memories of Bruce you may have.
Please could you forward any of the above to [email protected] by Tuesday 19th September for inclusion in the special show.

Thank you.
Rest easy Bruce.
Your legacy will live on.
