Hello out there!
I’m writing this from a hotel in the famous Nashville, Tennessee! I’m now halfway through my current US tour and things are going r eally well so far despite some disappointing news at the start of the tour. Sadly we had to leave our guitarist/banjo player, Ross Milligan, at home in Scotland due to family circumstances.
So, it’s just Jamie and I on this latest adventure.
In the past four days we have covered quite a few miles. We started off in beautiful warm, sunny Florida on Friday where we played in the town of Tarpon Springs, famous for it’s sponge...
We enjoyed an afternoon on the beach though felt very much out of place being the only folk for miles around wearing trousers and sporting pale Scottish skin!
On Saturday we made our way to St. Louis and played a gig in The Focal Point, a great little venue attached to a Mexican restaurant. With a giggly crowd we had a lovely first visit to Missouri. The jet lag came in handy yesterday morning as we had an early start driving down to Memphis for an afternoon show in the National Ornamental Metal Museum. We left the thunder and lightning storm in St. Louis and made our way south to a much flooded, balmy Memphis.
Enjoying a couple of nights off now as we make our way across Tennessee to play in North Carolina on Wednesday night. Going to hit the streets of Nashville tonight to see the sights and hopefully find some live music. There’s talk of a stop at Dollywood tomorrow....
more soon
