A lovely opportunity to write a new song for @blasfestival in the year of Scotland’s Coasts and Waters! #newmusic #Gaelic twitter.com/fruk/status/13…
Delighted to be part of this online concert on Friday night. Really missing the @NationalMod this week! twitter.com/FeisRois/statu…
Take me there! twitter.com/qikipedia/stat…
Some great music coming from Tradfest over the coming weeks, and all helps support musicians too. Looking forward to watching 🎶 #supportmusiciansdontretrainthem twitter.com/EdinTradfest/s…
Kicked off this slighty crazy #BandcampFriday by buying @KrisDrever’s new album. Something lovely to look forward to! Some great music available on Bandcamp, and today they waive their fees so all the income goes straight to the artist... go on, go on, go on.... #supportmusicians
Really good to see this getting recognition. My go to for all Corona info and has been really helpful over the past months. twitter.com/TravellingTabb…
Bi mi beò air Facebook còmhla ri @AaronHJones a nochd aig 8.30f. #ceòl #òrain #gàidhlig twitter.com/BothanDE/statu…
The only Scottish flag left is Tiree, and it’s lovely! Give the poll below a wee click..... twitter.com/FlagInstitute/…
On Friday 18th Sep at 8.30pm, myself and the excellent @AaronHJones will be playing a set for @BothanDunEidean, live on their Facebook page. Tha mi’n dòchas gun urrainn dhuibh a bhith còmhla rinn airson oidhche de dh’òrainn. #ceòl #ambothan #gàidhlig
It’s Bandcamp day! Why not support musicians and head over and buy some fantastic / brand new music from people like @Rachel_newton_ @KrisDrever @Laurenmaccoll1 @MairearadG @JosieDuncanSong @oldblinddogs @FionaGress @FeisRois or @cruinn for a lovely Friday treat! #BandcampFriday
Final vocals were recorded for my new album today, and it’s ready for mixing! Nearly a year since I started recording but excited to hear it come to life. Thanks so much to Jamie @StMarysSpace and all the fantastic musicians who recorded with me. More news on release soon!
A coimhead air adhart ri seo gu mòr! Bi mi a bruidhinn còmhla ri @johnjoemacneil mu dhèidhinn @Lochaber_Choir #ceòl #còisir #Gàidhlig twitter.com/NationalMod/st…

Seall seo! Great resource, now with recordings of the songs and tunes to help learning. #ceòlnamfèis twitter.com/fngaidheal/sta…
Couldn’t agree more. Have been fortunate to be able to help a lot of students when they needed it, and the joy of watching them flourish and learn. A much needed space, especially in these challenging times. twitter.com/VFleischfresse…
West Highland College - UHI are hosting on online open day today and I’ll be taking appointments to discuss all music courses, including options for performance, composition and digital DJ-ing. More info here whc.uhi.ac.uk
A lovely day singing my wee heart out @StMarysSpace for a safe and socially distanced vocal day. Big progress made on the new album 🎶 #newmusic #newsongs #singersongwriter #gaelic
This will be a lovely way to spend an evening 🎶 twitter.com/nature_scot/st…
My new album has taken another wee step forward this week! Delighted that @RoryGrindlay_ has recorded some drum tracks, starting to sound good! Looking forward to the next steps and adding loads of backing vocals! 🎶🥁#newalbum #newsongs #newmusic #drums #vocals #singersongwriter
My last gig was at @ccfest in January. With lockdown easing, live performances still look to be a long way off, yet there is no financial help or support available for most who work in the industry. It’s not just a way to make a living, it’s a way of life. #LetTheMusicPlay
How lovely for wee ones! (And the grannies too...) twitter.com/NicolaSturgeon…
A chance to see what some of our Creative students have been up to this year! twitter.com/WHC_UHI/status…
Remote album making can be quite interesting! twitter.com/StMarysSpace/s…

It was nice to be able to join Skipinnish pals virtually for this song! twitter.com/Skipinnish/sta…
I’ll be live for a few songs on my Facebook page at 7.30pm tonight 🎶facebook.com/events/s/songs…
Nice opportunity here! twitter.com/handsupfortrad…

I’ll be doing my first ever live-stream performance from my Facebook and YouTube channels next Sunday, 10th May at 7.30pm. It would be lovely to have a few virtual friends for some songs and chat. #nervousalready

A line up to rival any festival, and available in your own living room tonight! Sunday night sorted. 🎶 twitter.com/FeisRois/statu…
Lots of brilliant opportunities to be involved in workshops and to hear some great music over the weekend from lots of talented friends. Virtual Fèis Rois what’s not to love 💕 🎶 twitter.com/FDalgetty/stat…
This is worth a look, and shows clearly what musicians make (or don’t) from streaming. If you can, please buy
from artists. Albums / singles / videos cost ££££’s to make..... twitter.com/MrTomGray/stat…
Delighted to be able to do some remote recording and re-amping via @StMarysSpace to keep my new album project moving along, a great option when you need to #stayathome but still make music happen 🎶 twitter.com/StMarysSpace/s…
Lucky to be able to look forward to this in 2021. Please keep safe and well everyone xx twitter.com/LCCLiveEvents/…
This is a good step forward and thankfully acknowledges that many people in abusive relationships are unable to speak or even have access to a phone that isn’t monitored. twitter.com/TheWomensOrg/s…
A thread worth reading if you are currently navigating online teaching. Kindness and understanding needed. twitter.com/veruka2/status…

Oh this made me smile! twitter.com/abmassie/statu…
Not a fair announcement from the uk government today - doesn’t help musicians who have already lost a massive chunk of work and income. Re-think needed. #supportforselfemployed #equalsupportforall twitter.com/sarahmcquaid/s…
Great opportunity for composers / songwriters here! twitter.com/FeisRois/statu…
What a lovely thing this is. Amplify 10 women in music... @Karenmatheson7 @MargretStewart @EmilySmithmusic @IAMKP @FDalgetty @FionaGress @jennareidmusic @KTBoyle1 @MhairiHall and a fantastic woman not on Twitter #SileasSinclair and so many, many more. twitter.com/MargretStewart…
Feeling lucky to have had a productive couple of days at @StMarysSpace studio with the lovely @AaronHJones working on my new album. Beginning to take shape!
