The last session we recorded in Glasgow in March 2009, made producer Ro Halfhide smile for more than the week to come. Alasdair Roberts was the man who played some traditionals and his own work, at a workplace where Davie Lawson was working at the time. Roberts will be playing at the wonderful Utrecht music festival called Le Guess Who in November this year.
I had the honour to direct a music video to the wonderful song 'Born To Perform' by Anne Soldaat. I have been working on this film for a while, recording with a variety of wellknown Dutch musicians, a television host, comedian, actrice and even - by then - the Dutch vice-president and Minister Of Finance Wouter Bos. The music video was released this week.
I went to beautiful Loch Lomond in Scotland today, together with Iona MacDonald from Doghouse Roses. Something we also did in March 2009, when Davie Lawson joined us, bringing along a banjo. He sang 'One Too Many Mornings' by Bob Dylan, and I happened to have my cameras with me. Watch it now.
