USA WEST COAST TOUR 2018, NEW CD, AND THEN CANADA.
We are delighted to be returning by request for our fourth West Coast tour in Northern California in April and May 2018.
A series of 11 concerts including many venues we have played at before, who have asked us to return, and also a number of additional new ones.
You will find a full list on the “Gigs” page here on our website, together with all the contact details for tickets and where to find us.
2017 was difficult year for many of our friends in Northern California who lost so much in wildfires. We are deeply moved by the resilience and spirit of so many good friends we have made there in the course of our previous tours, and it will be an honour to play for you all again.
In addition we have some new venues including the famous Auburn House Concert Series which we have heard so much about, the highly regarded Back Room concert venue in Berkeley, a wonderful invitation to play at San Jose, and the amazing Casa Serrano Museum in Monterey, and others.
If you wish further information about any of this then please contact us at music@linskenscotland.scot
Currently we are recording a new 13 track CD for release shortly. We have returned to the amazing Watercolour Music Studios at Ardgour www.watercolourmusic.co.uk where we are working with Mary Ann Kennedy and Nick Turner to produce what he believe could be our best CD to date. We are supported on that production by our great friends and musical companions of many years, Stevie Lawrence & Fiona Cuthill, Alasdair Robertson from the original Ideal Band, and bass/piano man Jim Lightbody from Loch Lomond.
Very excited about this one, and again distribution and all else will be managed for us by Mame Hadden and his team at Birnam CD www.birnamcd.com
In June last year we welcomed and played a short concert here for Harpist Sunita Staneslow, Fred Schlomka, and their party of international musicians and guests touring Scotland. From that has sprung an invitation for us to play a concert early next year at Pender Harbour Music Society on the Sunshine Coast Canada. A great honour and heralds our first tour in Canada which we are organising right now.
