Hi All, I hope that this finds you all well. Just a wee post to let you know about www.thewoodshop.scot One of the ideas behind the workshop renovation last year was to enable us (my wife and I) to start putting on gigs as it is something that we have spoken about for years. I'm very pleased to announce the dates of the first 2 gigs; The James Brothers on the 17th of April King Creosote on the 1st of May If you would like to come to one or both of these intimate performances in the Taran Guitars workshop please get in touch with me via www.thewoodshop.scot or at rorydowling@taranguitars.co.uk or call the workshop on 01333 720282. It would be wonderful to have you here. All the very best, Rory www.taranguitars.co.uktwitter.com/TaranGuitars www.facebook.com/taran.guitarswww.facebook.com/fifewoodshop

Looks great, Rory! A very exciting concept, and I hope it works out for you.
I'd love to come along to a gig, so I'll need to see when I can manage up.

What a lovely idea Rory. A bit too far from Somerset for me to make it, but all the best with this venture - I'm sure it will prove to be very popular. Keith

Thanks Guys! Yes should be good, tickets are selling well which takes the pressure off! Still getting used to that one Leo, can't believe she said yes! All the very best for now, Rory Taran Guitars www.taranguitars.co.ukwww.thewoodshop.scot

Friday night saw the first Wood Shop gig with the Might James Brother kicking off the venues opening. We had 54 folk in which was wonderful, the music was incredible and everyone left with a smile. What more could we ask for! And to top it all off there where tunes around the kitchen table into the wee small hours with James and Jamie. The next gig is on the 1st of may with King Creosote and friends! www.thejamesbrothers.co.ukwww.thewoodshop.scotwww.taranguitars.co.uk

That sounds like it was a big success! Congrats, Rory, and hope the next and future gigs go as well

Sounds great! I'll need to try and get over some day. Fife is my favourite bit of the country, having been a St Andrews student for 5 years. My good friend stayed in Fife and now lives in Lower Largo. He loves music too so we could hook up and make a gig some night.

Hi Rory
Great idea, and all the very best of luck with it!
By the way, my Tirga Beag has just passed its 6th birthday and it's sounding really great!
Cheers
Dave
