Thanks for nothing Letterman!!

Live streaming of Ryan Adams from thge Ed Sullivan theatre not allowed in my country. Another sleepless night wasted! Ryan Adams in Edinburgh was one of the best gigs in many a long time and if you get the chance to catch him on his January 2012 US Dates do not miss him...

Well here is a great clip anyway fom the Live At Abbey Road Sessions:

Celtic Connections 2012

A somewhat belated link to this years Celtic Connections Festival. Have to admit not quite as much grabbing my, or Michaels, attention as in previous years. But there is always someone who you will want to see. Anyway here is the link and a couple of clips of acts that I will see:

Firstly a very welcome return for Steven Lindsay and The Big Dish. This promises to be a real highlight of the Festival and I would expect you need to get your tickets quickly:

Justin Currie

Billed as a co-headling show with Naomi Bedford readers of this psace will know that any Justin Currie show is a must. Intimate venie I am betting on an acoustic show, hopefully with a couple of new tracks.
