Live Music in Scotland

[Ward Whitehorn]

My wife and I are going to visit Scotland in November. Can anyone suggest venues where we might find live folk and blues music. Most of the tourist publications just mention spring and summer venues. Thanks in advance.

I wonder if the following site, would at least be a start for you?

http://www.gigguide.co.uk/index.htm

There are other sites, if you do a Google search for "folk music"+scotland

Where and when will you be located?

Good luck - Ranald

Thank you Ranald. We are arriving around the 7th of November and hope to visit Edinburgh, Invernes, the Highlands, Isle of Skye, Isle of Whithorn and if we have time Glasgow and St Andrews. We plan to be moving a lot.

Ward drop me an email a few weeks before you arrive and I'll send you a gig guide of Blues throughout Scotland and the north east of England.
