Hello All,
I'm in Canada at the moment on tour having a FAB time but wanted to remind you that I'm performing my last gigs of 2009 on the 19th and 21st Nov in Edinburgh and Glasgow. It would be great to see you all.

Hi,
Just some more info for those of you, who will be coming to see The Andi Neate Band in Ullapool.
The concerts, running concurrently on October 2nd and 3rd, will take place in the Macphail Theatre and Ullapool Village Hall. Both will be presented by former UHS students. Although there will be music in various styles in both concerts, one will be themed around singer-songwriters and popular/rock musicians, and one around traditional and Gaelic music. In addition to solo performances by a Mod gold medal-winner and prize-winning pipers, a major highlight of the traditional concert will be collaboration between former and current UHS students to perform several songs and pieces of instrumental music.
A cornerstone of this concert will be the project's title song. Tillidh Mi Dhachaidh was written by Calum MacDonald in the early days of his band RunRig. The song sums up the feelings of a young person growing up in the Highlands and moving out into the wider world, yet always aware of the richness of home and tradition. A group of UHS musicians recorded the song in 1998, and Calum has kindly agreed to let us use this as the theme for our project.
The singer/songwriter concert will feature former students who have gone on to record their own albums as well as students who have left school more recently and are involved in rock bands and DJ work.
