Hi folks,  Hi folks,  I’ve been swimming a few times in the sea in Portobello, five minutes’ walk from the house. Last month I got stung by a jellyfish – nothing serious but it freaked me out and put me off till now. But I really missed it and didn’t want to let a wee sting put me off. I guess that what’s called facing your fear and doing it anyway! Keep reading to hear more about the trip to

I’m touched to be considered for the Scottish Traditional Music Hall of Fame 2019, let alone be inducted into it. I don’t have many more words about it – just thanks. M x

Hi folks,  Hope you’re well and making the most of the season of change. I’ve been in the US since Monday, working with Sheryl Stoodley of Serious Play for a few days before heading up to Cape Breton for Celtic Colours Festival… exciting.

Hi folks, It’s been a full few weeks. Thank you to everyone who came along to the recent fiddle retreat on Lismore and helped to make it so heartwarming and memorable.  The year’s flying in, which means it’s nearly time again for the Edinburgh Festival Fringe. No theatre shows this year, but I’m looking forward to doing three solo concerts as part of it all. For anyone in Edinburgh in August, there’s an uplifting concert, with possibly a fair bit of audience participation, waiting
