One of the many great things about Scotland

Phil Cunningham and Aly Bain
Queens Hall, Edinburgh

Scotland is great! I spend day and weeks travelling round the country, climb the hills, visit the islands, have fun in the cities and generally enjoy myself and help visitors to do the same (I hope). Live music is one of those gems that more people need to go and see (or should that be hear?)
Phil Cunningham and Aly Bain are the quintessential purveyors of traditional Scottish music. There is or maybe was a perception the fiddle and accordion were not cool, well go and see these guys. The quality of the playing, the in-between tune chats and all round laid back vibe of the evening is great and as they do annual tour there will more opportunities to see see them before long. Do yourself a favour and go.
