We've a wee gig on Tuesday 21st September in PIVOPIVO in Waterloo Street in Glasgow
Doors about 8pm
Admission £4.00
Gary, the chap who runs it's trying to get a series of folk events off the ground so we thought we'd chip in a bit and help out.
There are some young singer songwriters on the bill as well. Come along and support this venture.
New to the playlist is our version of St James Infirmary blues.
This started off one night in Lauries when John was just idling through a chord progression between songs, and I reckoned Roland Kirk's Serenade To A Cuckoo fitted nicely with what he was playing. St James Infirmary sort of followed on after that. A few days later we were recording some demo stuff and we thought it would be fun to put that down, and use the concertina as the lead intrument on the song part. So we did a quick rough and it sounded ok so there you have it.

Back at last
After a long hiatus it's time this blog was updated.
Straight away there's 4 new freebie recordings for you to download.
We recorded a big bunch of stuff for the "Feline My Way" album, but that's still in the (long) pipeline because we're lazy buggers who like making and recording music better than all the hassle of actually packaging and marketing it, so we end up with enough stuff for about two complete albums, and no actual albums. haha!
I'll put more stuff up soon, I promise, along with pics and stories of what we've been up to over the past few months.
Anyway enjoy the new stuff.
First up's Doomsday in the Afternoon. Lots of people have recorded this song, and it's sort of found its way into the modern tradition, although John actually wrote it.
Next is Davy Lowston. Never seal. You'll get stranded and have to eat nothing but seals and seagulls for years.
Then there's Paddy the Moocher. This is another McCreadie original about the beggars of the 1950s and the beggars of today. All failed by society.
This was big fun to record because we skinnered it completely.
The final new upload for today is Jim Jones at Botany Bay with a wee tune tacked on the end called "The Princess Royal". Both traditional, this gave me an opportunity to use the new octave tuned harmonica Trish gave me at Christmas, and John got to mess about in open tuning.
Right! I promise I'll put more stuff up soon.
Toodle pip!
