GENTLE SOUNDS AND ANNIVERSARIES
You may have seen Billy Ross a week or so ago on Scottish Television's beautifully produced, it ill-titled Welcome To Gaeldom, accompanying himself on guitar and singing the Braes 0f Lochiel in Gaelic. He is also a fine singer in Scots and some of you will remember him from the original Dssian line-up. His gentle way with a song can be appreciated when he is in concert with Billy Jackson, see photo, at Glasgow‘s Babbity Bowsters on the 2nd. With the pair, whose album as a duo is released on Iona records, is fellow Ossian liddlerJohn Martin, back from a month’s long Stateside tour. The trio field quite a combination of instruments, including, of course, Jackson‘s clarsach, create a surprising variety of texture, and confidently draw on years of common music making. Fifteen years old, almost to the day, is the Edinburgh Folk Club. They celebrate on the 5th by inviting the youthful Kathryn Tickell, doyenne ot Northumbrian small-pipers, and a very able liddler, to share the bill with one of Scotland‘s greatesttigures, in all senses. from the early days of the folk revival, when the song was the thing,

One of those informal tree clubs, that blossom infrequently, has sprung up in Milnes Bar in Edinburgh, the 608‘ haunt of Scotia’s argumentative literati. Where MacDiarmid expounded, now can be heard, at least on Tuesday nights, songs both traditional and contemporary. The latter adjective usually means at least a decade old, but Rod Paterson, on the 4th, will give of his own songs, some with the words still drying. (N.C.)
