GIGS

I'm playing a solo gig in An Caladh, Benbecula, on Saturday 8 September at 7pm. The following Saturday (15 September)the band are backing me in Helmsdale at 7.30pm in the Free Church (the old police station - hope we give an arresting performance!) Possibly an acoustic gig as part of Doors Open Day in Edinburgh on Saturday 29th.

Then in October, we're playing in Livingston on the 6th, then Smithton either late October or mid November (date still to be confirmed).

Some comments on Alex's music:

"Good 'real' music of heart and substance and message."

"I very much enjoyed your CD - particularly the opening track, which is like a Calvinist Lily, Rosemary and the Jack of Hearts."
Tom Morton (Broadcaster and journalist)
