On a dark and rainy night in Newport-on-Tay at a Lost Map showcase, gig-goers had their hearts warmed by an evening of eclectic music performed by Pictish Trail, L.T. Leif, and Weird Wave.
Pictish Trail, aka Scottish singer-songwriter Johnny Lynch, has revealed his first new music in three years with new single Far Gone (Don’t Leave). It is the first taste of his new album, due later this year. He’s touring throughout the spring and summer.
The good people at Lost Map Records recorded this lovely session recently featuring Withered Hand, James Yorkston & The Pictish Trail performing ‘Life of Doubt‘ which we’ve chosen as our Song of the Day. They are all on tour together in January.
We start this historic day with our Song of the Day from Johnny Lynch aka The Pictish Trail. Plus Johnny shares his desired third option on Scottish Independence.
We catch James Yorkston’s Album launch for The Cellardyke Recording and Wassailing Society at the Old Queens Head with support from the wonderful Irish singer/songwriter Lisa O’Neill.
