Chit Chat

Doing support for Aly Bain & Phil Cunningham  last Saturday  March 20th  at the Ariel Centre was great fun, Just how much talent can two people  be blessed with !!!  . For me having Mike  Weed as back up on whistle & bass was superb not to mention the joy of having Alicia Stolliday (my cello teacher) join us for rendition of Leonard Choens Song Of Bernadatte. CD sales were good & hopefully my new CD will be ready  by the beginning of July 2010. Mike & I have put ourselves out there as a duo now & our next gig is at The Maltsters Arms Harbertonford April 3rd kick off 8.30

I was sorry to miss my old pal Ian Bruce as he was gigging at The Blue Walnut on Saturday the 20th  when we were at the Ariel Centre its always feast or famine isnt it. However we had a wee chat on the phone & he will be back in the West Country on October 29th at the Bodmin Folk Club so we shall have a wee dram then.we would have chatted longer but he was eating a curry !!!

Well Padstow MayDay was as always fantastic. I caught up again with my old pal John Breeze & we busked for charity as we always do I am pleased to relate I am now deemed a BREEZETTE isnt life wonderful  !.Having just done support for them I was discussing the amazing talents of Aly Bain &  Phil Cunningham when a Scottish voice behind me said who's talking about Phil Cunningham ??!! & there was your man as always  good natured & full of fun , What a coincidence!!.

May 14th. Mike Weed & I spent an hour with Richard Digance for his Sunday Folk Programme it will go out on May23rd at 5pm. You have to be quick to keep up with Richard he is the master of fast one liners &  with his good humour the hour just flew by. We were also lucky to meet Sarah Macdougall who takes over the 2nd hour of the show

Maggie & Mike

Re-Teaming up with Mike is a real  bonus his energetic bass playing  or haunting whistles add another dimension to the music ,consequently we are in more demand for concert/support/ & wedding work . we look forward to hearing from you should you need us !.

I would like to thank Brenda Burnside for her lovely feedback after the Traditions Concert she said & I quote. Dear maggie & Mike Thank you for your exquisite performance on Sunday every single comment was positive & glowing.
