I have been living in Edinburgh Scotland for a little over a month now, and These folks love the old country!! They have some great country bands, and recording artists that still record the old songs, with plenty of steel!! I met a Scottish lassie from here, and fell in love. She has a classic country collection that is amazing!!! Anyway,I'm doing some singing, and I hope everyone is doing well. I haven't been on the forum for awhile as my comp is in transit across the briny blue! Using Jan's laptop. Leigh

| Hey There Leigh...I was wondering why you haven't been on..Scotland eh..I'd be in paradise with as much Scotch as I drink and isn't it amazing that theres more good Country Music in Europe than here in the US...I did a show up in Waltham recently and ran into Sammy Gibson.He was asking about you as well as all the guys up at the AMVETS in Chicopee..Great for you old friend..Please keep in touch... |

Leigh,
Welcome to Scotland.
I Live in Glasgow which is about 50-60 miles from the capital,I am not too familiar with the country scene in Edinburgh but I do know that the "Tucson"club meet evey Monday evening in a Masonic Hall which is about halfway down Leith walk.
They have some good bands.
Incidentally I will be there with "Nickles&Dimes" next Monday
Best regards
Billy |

| Gentleman,When you run into leigh please say Hi from me..Also if you have a chance to get him up on your stage you will be rewarded with one of the purest Country voices around. A while back he sent me a CD of some tracks I had sent him and I found it to be the Leigh I had known for many years..A great cut and a Voice that imitates no one.He's just timeless....Maybe on our trip to Ireland next march I will be able to look him up.... |
