First up – 19th January 2010 – diary date – Celtic Connections – the An Tobar Sessions. Now you’re getting it.
The buzz from Mull is terrific.
We reported recently on the Island Tour by the the talented Colin MacIntyre band with Sorren Maclean and their appearance on BBC Alba’s Rapal. (Catch them here if you missed the show.)
Well – the tour went down a storm. The highlights for the band were the London gig, when Romeo from The Magic Numbers came to see them; and the Bristol show – on a boat. Then both their Glasgow and Edinburgh dates were packed and huge fun.
The Celtic Connections gig on 19th January is billed as The An Tobar Sessions and will feature Shops by the Dave Milligan Trio, An Tobar by Aidan O’Rourke and Island by Colin MacIntyre. These were all commissioned by An Tobar so the entire gig is a great profile raiser for Tobermory’s engine of an arts centre – and for Mull music.
Then Gordon Maclean An Tobar’s Director – is playing with Sorren Maclean at Perthshire Amber, the Dougie MacLean Festival in Pitlochry this Saturday (31st October).
At this rate of going, the CalMac ferry to Craignure will be getting even busier – in both directions.
And there are enough links in this story to keep a music buff occupied for the morning. Go Mull.

Be nice to see something similar down here on the Cowal-oops, silly me, forgot that An Tobar is the only publicly-funded, multi-disciplinary Arts Centre in the whole of Argyll!!! Bit of a disgrace, that, or am I a ‘lone voice crying in the wind’?
