http://www.bbc.co.uk/scotland/radioscotland/ Aye, Good morning....just getting a start to the day with "Radio Scotland" before heading up to Huron County...just to the south of the Bruce to canoe the Maitland River with my sister Heather and her family Mike, Marshall and Ethan and celebrate Marshall's # 12 birthday, etc., etc. It is a fine spring day in Southern Ontario...sunny and highs of 20 deg. cel. While logging in to Radio Scotland I caught the announcement of Tiree's / Speen Bridge, Scotland's "Skippinish" to be aired on Radio Scotland's: Travelling Folk (2 hr) Broadcast on Radio Scotland - Thu 19 May - 20:00 Archie Fisher presents the best from the world of folk and traditional music, featuring the cream of the new releases and gig highlights from around Scotland. Winner of Radio / TV Show of the Year at the inaugural Scots Trad Music Awards, Travelling Folk features regular concert sets and sessions, as well as interviews with top talent from the Scottish folk scene. Now in its 25th year, Travelling Folk presents a rich and varied mixture of music, from Shetland fiddle to bluegrass mandolin, and Borders ballads to Gaelic mouth music. You can listen to any of Radio Scotland's previously week's aired shows by cursing on "Listen Again" and then picking the show you want to hear...in this case "Travelling Folk". You have until the next show to hear Skippinish...hurry hard before Thursday. Great interview with Angus and Andrew and music too...even mentioned Skippinish CD's getting exposure in Canada! H'mmm, anyone know who was responsible for this Archie? Good show! Skippinish http://www.tradmusic.com/groupinfoa.asp?groupID=1599 Angus MacPhail : (Accordion) Andrew Stevenson : (Highland Pipes, Scottish Small Pipes) Traditional ceilidh band Skippinish are accordionist Angus MacPhail and piper Andrew Stevenson. They play classic-style country dance tunes with laid-back but zestful flair, embellished by plenty of supple ornamentation and tautly measured lift. Their debut CD "Scurr Mòr To Skerryvore" received a great deal of critical acclaim. Their second album, "Skippinish" is now also available. Cheers, have a nice weekend. Scott
