~ ‘ONE PEOPLE ONE WORLD’ ~ CALIFORNIA TOUR MAY 2016
We are delighted to be returning in May to the USA West Coast for our third tour.
Ten concerts including a return by invitation to great venues we have played before, and some new exciting ones as well.
A chance to meet old friends who have supported us, and new audiences, new friends, and make some wonderful music together.
A return to Lucy and Archie’s ‘Camellia Inn’ Healdsburg, and ‘Don Quixote’s’ in Felton, being two of California’s top venues for world touring artists.Then our third visit to Gregg Moore’s fantastic ‘Relevant Music’ in Arcata,one of the best house concerts ever hosted by fiddler Howard Booster and his wife Merritt in Santa Rosa,and a return to Peter and Nadia Robbins amazing ‘Bohemian Art Loft’ in Redding.
In addition we are invited to perform at one Bill Wagman’s famous House Concerts in Davis, and then on to ‘Willits Community Theatre’ in Willlits where we are preceded by Scotland’s mighty ‘Old Blind Dogs’.
Then south for our first visit to Monterey Bay at the invitation of Elizabeth Todd, with two additional concerts currently being finalised, and several live radio broadcasts along the way by invitation.
We will also be meeting up with the fabulous ‘San Francisco Scottish Fiddlers’–our guests last tour at ‘Freight and Salvage’ in Berkeley, plus a return visit to the mighty ‘Balclutha’ steel hulled full rigged ship built on the Clyde in Scotland in 1886, where we played a concert last tour.
Our friends at ‘Ifshin Violins’ have again agreed to provide Linsey with a beautiful ‘cello for the tour.
Our sincere thanks to good friends Jan And Michael Graham, San Francisco Bay’s No 1 Dragon Boat racer, expat Scottish musician Doug McPherson and wife Martie, multi instrumentalist Seabury Gould, and ‘San Francisco Scottish Fiddlers’,Rob Godfrey, Amy Luper, and Jane and Dave Marx all of whom have done so much to help us with these tours.
