Face BookMEDICINE in the modern sense is perceived to be a treatment for ailment, but in the ancient sense particularly in the minds of Native Americans, medicine is all that is good in nature connecting the spirit world with the physical. The Medicine of music can be a direct connection with all it is to be human and also our best prescription for the disconnecting-ailments of our modern culture"

thanks for the message - I've been trying to reply all morning but the send button won't work - so over here instead.
I love Flyinshoes - i'm passing the link on ... (i have a friend who may be interested in contributing)
I'm booking some dates in Scotland for next November, so maybe somewhere here would be interested in hosting a house concert for Tom and myself.
All the best for now

Padraic Conroy said… - Hello Rob
I come from a town called Athlone in Ireland and will send all contacts this link. I have been living here for the last couple of years on/off and played here a couple of times. I have done most of my playing in Ireland so dont have many music connections here. We will be moving to Los Angeles at the end of the month. When I am organised I hopefully will get to do some touring in Europe and maybe we will get to have tunes sometime.
Best wishes
Padraic

The Wiyos: The Maze Nottingham February 4th 2010
This gig should be in black and white….and slightly scratchy around the edges. Even before the Wiyos play a note you are transported back to a pre-war movie-hall. This is the look and sound of Dylan’s Theme Time brought up to date, no wonder they appealed to his Bobness enough to accompany him on tour. Indeed, they would probably make his ideal backing band in heaven should he ever need them.
Tom Russell at Gateshead Old Town Hall January 2010
Tom Russell at Gateshead Old Town Hall January 2010Having last seen Tom Russell perform at The Sage, this was my first time attending a gig at Gateshead Old Town Hall, already it seems, affectionately named the GOTH, and I have to say the main hall; an old Victorian music room, was a very pleasant venue, with incredibly high ceilings and great acoustics, helped by great sound on the night. As Tom Russell was introduced, with the quip that he has played every venue the Jumpin’ Hot Club has had,…
