Paul and Iona have already notched up over a hundred gigs this year. And with more dates announced for the Autumn it doesn’t look as if they’re about to let up. Early this Summer the duo played a few gigs in Slovinia, an experience which they enjoyed immensely. Paul writes “We had a great time in Slovenia where we played a good assortment of shows. Our first one was in the Metropolitan Library in Ljubljana which was the first time we'd played anywhere like that. It was part of a Scottish day which also featured a talk from our tour manger Katarina Juvancic who worked really hard to make the tour happen. One of the things i like the most is when after a gig somewhere new and a few beers after, you get taken to the best kebab shop in a new town!”

What’s for sure is they will have to take time out in order to get back to the studios and record their 2nd album which is partly being funded by the Scottish Arts Council (three cheers for the SAC).
