THE BLOG
Just a little 'blog' on this weeks show and events.
A 'WEE BLEATHER' with the Kenny MacKenzie
When 'Tartan and Thistles' met 'The Ceilidh Kidd'
Each week I will write a little about the show, little facts or favourite tracks/favourite artists of mine. Also will let you know where we have been been dancing or Accordion Clubs etc.
Theme is ..........
This Week on the show we have all the usual stuff - Dates for the Diary, The Back to Back Track and The Wee Bleather...
It was the turn of Kenny Mackenzie to have my Mic tucked under his chin. What a great, highly talented guy to interview. Thoroughly enjoyed his company in the Park Bar. (Even enjoyed a wee dance, but I won't spoil the interview, you will need to listen in to find out).
Kenny has a number of great albums. 'The Sound of Sanna' is on sale after being digitised from original cassettes - yes he is that era haha - and all sales are going directly to Celtic Music Radio. You can hear one of the tracks during Kenny's interview. Here is the link to the website and some great albums.

Our back to back this week was the turn of Steven Carcary - 2 great tracks, one was for a Strip the Willow and the other was a great toe tapping Quickstep. Both were taken from his Album 'Something Old, Something New' (Thought I best pop in the album, just in case you thought I was calling Steven OLD haha - He IS the same age as me so..... maybe I was!!).

My favourite track from this weeks show was Patti Kustorok, a Canadian Fiddler, and oh boy can she make that fiddle sing. The track I played was Casey's Old Time Waltz. Hope you enjoyed it as much as I did.
My Blog has not been kept up to date much lately as I have been under the weather - but as I say to most folks, sitting down listening to great music definately lifts the spirits and helps perk you up a bit. I enjoy preparing and presenting these shows for all my Tartan and Thistle listeners. What would life be without music? Tartan Music makes me all fuzzy inside!!
'Dates for the Diary' is starting to biz up again, I am slowly getting all the AFC's syllabus into the diary. You may notice that the Dates for the diary TAB has a new format - much easier to view than the last set up hopefully.
If anyone has any dates for the diary then please get in touch. I would love to share them on the show and in the Diary section of the website.
Hope you all have a good week. As always, thank you for listening to the show - have a good week and Take Care!
