Completing my trio of Edinburgh-based talent, the fantastic Adam Holmes:
Adam's album is a really nice listen.

Adam and his band played a blinder in Edinburgh on Friday night. This is one of my favourite songs from his lovely album:

Adam is doing really well just now, getting 6 Music airplay etc. Dallahan I think could also do really well on the trad circuit. What's nice is that these guys are, in the main, very down to earth and unpretentious, still play at local sesions etc. It's generally a nice, friendly, supportive scene.

Will do.
Just ordered the album on the strength of this track.
Isn't music and the sharing of it wonderful.

Only forseeable downside is the, ahem, edinburgh (see, I can't even capitalise it...) thing. As a Glasgwegian it sticks in the throat a little. I'll just have to get over it. Sigh. You can take the boy out of Glasgow...

Ha! Typical Weedgie alig I'm the only one of my family for at least 3 generations not born in Glasgow, so I have an affinity with the place. I've lived in and around Edinburgh on and off since I was 18 and I don't mind the place, but I loved living in Glasgow for 4 years in the early '90s

I'm a Rottenrow boy and only moved up to Plockton a little after the millenium.
To my shame I haven't been back to the dear green place for over four years.
Maybe next year...

Half my family were born in Rottenrow maternity wing BTW - Just heard that Adam has a song on the Mark Radcliffe Folk Sessions 2014 cd: www.delphonicmusic.com/mark-radcliffe-folk-sessions-2014/So pleased for Adam. He's the real deal and such a nice fella

Just got the disc and it's wonderful.
However, I notice that a certain Hannah Beaton gets a credit for backing vocals. I'm just going to get in touch with her and find out some more. She stays a few houses away and, as they say, 'I kenned her faither'. An extraordinary man and fiddler.
I've known Hannah for years and she has the most wonderful, unique voice I've EVER heard. I don't say this lightly.
So, thank you so much for posting, SDT (altogether too close to STD...).
Alasdair.
