You can now start voting for your favorite artists for the 2012 Scottish New Music Awards. My focus is on the Roots Recording of the year. It’s going to be bloody because two of the artists in that category have already been featured in this website. They are Fiona J MacKenzie and The Rachel Hair Trio led by harpist Rachel Hair.
It is a nice award because it recognizes the best in Scottish music. The category covers everything, from Pop, Indie to Metal. So I am sure you can pick your own category and be happy with it. I made my vote already but I won’t tell you 😉

I invite all Celtic musicians from around the world to jam with The Cherry Cokes when they go to Osaka, Japan. I can describe the band’s sound as energetic, oftentimes melodic and always gorgeously stylish. You can get info from their website but it is in Japanese and Google translate doesn’t help much. I will have to ask a friend who is fluent Japanese speaker soon.Their new album Black Revenge is out.
Now I am going to talk about this video called Rascal Trail. I would have preferred it in colored though because I think they have chosen a great spot to shoot. I have to say, I like the accordion player because she really hammed it up there. Everyone performed in an exceptional manner here. I think the rain was a cool addition. It must have been a cold shoot. Brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr! This discovery is very interesting. I will have to look for more Japanese Celtic bands!
The Bombadils are busy touring and promoting their new album.
It’s happening! I remember that line from the movie Almost Famous. I can say the same thing for The Bombadils. Their new album Fill Your Boots! is out. You can see the band pics as well as a video from their East Coast tour. More info coming soon.
