Brawth

Where the Highlands meet the Lowlands….. Where a full meal can be served in just one bowl….. Where a good song is as important as friendship….. Where the fire roars and warms….. Where melody, words and conviviality are among the things passed between people…..

There you will find brawth.

******************************** drawler + pookah = brawth

pookah + drawler = brawth

*******************************

brawth is pronounced the same as ‘broth’. its just a clever way of spelling it as the scots word ‘braw’ means great. it also stops us getting lambasted for a 1970 album we never released.

***************************************

REMEMBER, IF IT’S TOO HOT….BLOW ON IT.

                                                            About Maria Hall

I am a singer/songwriter based in the North of Scotland, I have been involved in music for many years. I have played and sung blues, rock, grunge, alternative folk and much, much more with bands like ’The Blues Mamas’, ’Mad Dog’, ’Marandra’, ’Dr’ JKLM’ and ’Rapscalion’. I also sang and recorded with Martin Stephenson and I am eternally grateful to him for teaching me so much about the music business and for allowing me to join him on some of the best gigs I’ve ever done. Besides this, I was instrumental in running a musical organisation that assisted and developed budding musicians from my then local area. We ran successful festivals and hopefully inspired some of our members to embark upon a musical career. I also have a love of animals and in particular my Irish Wolfhounds and Beagles which I successfully show throughout Britain.

Presently, I am writing and singing my own material.

                                   About Andrew “The Blue Bandana” Huggan

I am a singer/songwriter from a little town called Sauchie in Scotland. I have been playing various instruments since I was knee-high to a grasshopper and have in the last few years taught myself to sing and play guitar, and also to record my own songs. I am currently working on my first album, and it is finally starting to come together! I have performed informally in various pubs including McNeil’s in Stornoway, the Drumnadrochit Hotel in Drumnadrochit, The Ceilidh Place and Arch Inn in Ullapool, McNab’s in Portree, Mishnish in Tobermory and Lloyds Bar in Bristol. I performed my songs “Take Me Away Across the Sea” and “Lonely Lonely Night” live on BBC Radio nan Gaidheal during the Hebridean Celtic Festival 2007. I also came in as a finalist in the “Everything You Hear” karaoke competition at Runrig’s Beat the Drum gig this august. Some footage of me was included in a gaelic documentary on STV about the event, called “Abhainn an t-Sluaigh”,

Afcollective Artist of the Month

Artist of the month

Twenty Questions for Rick Frost

1. Where do you live and why? (Be as specific or non-specific as you like) I live in the state of CT, in the U.S. The only reason I live here is I can’t afford to move. Ideally I’d live on a warm beach

2. When did you first know you wanted to write music? (not play it…write it) In the womb. 3. How did you choose your performing name? I lucked out. I was born with it. People ask what’s your given name and it’s Rick Frost. Very little imagination needed for that aspect of my career

4. If you were a rap artist, what would your name be? Let’s see there’s Ice Tea; Ice Cube; Vanilla Ice. How about Ice D. Frost

5. What is your favorite song by another artist? Tie between Little Wing and Angel, both by Hendrix 6. What is your favorite song of your own? Faith No More, because basically I’m really a political animal. One of the driving forces in my life is my focus on economic disparity and general inequality on a global scale and my commitment to somehow change it.

7. Summer, Spring, Winter or Fall? Summer! Ah, warm breezes….beaches, etc.

8. Your favorite story to tell is… All of my favorite stories are really long and self-incriminating. If you really are interested email me at rickfrost44@hotmail.com and I will mail you a copy of one of my favorite stories. 9. Do you use your music to make an impression on the opposite sex? I’m sure when I was younger I did

10. Has it ever worked? I’m sure when I was younger it did. Things change as you age. For example, my last show was sold out. As a joke, I circulated a rumor that I would be playing naked. People started to call and demand a lower price on tickets.

11. Is there a song you’ve always wanted to write that you cannot seem to write? Lots of them. Seems like every song I was just about to write, John Lennon beat me to it. I think he was reading my mind. 12. Coffee, tea or milk? Coffee-if I were in need of a transfusion they would roll in a percolator 13. If you could meet one living person that you might not otherwise meet, who would it be? Impossible to pick just one so I’ll say Bono, Oprah and Angelina Jolie because each of them has used their fame and fortune to address poverty, hunger and economic disparity and I believe there is no better use for something as useless as fame. 14. If you could meet one dead person, that you hopefully would not otherwise meet, who would it be? John Lennon (Don’t tell anyone, but I’ve met him in my dreams. He’s a very active spirit)

15. Is there a place you must visit before you die? Stonehenge-There is something intrinsically beautiful and mysterious about the place. I feel inexplicably drawn to it. 16. When you are inducted into the Rock n Roll Hall of Fame in America, who will introduce you? DJay Buddha – I will insist on it 17. Train A leaves the station at 1pm and travels at a rate of 100mph(don’t know the kph conversion). Train B leaves the station at 2pm and travels at a rate of 200mph. Which train is Casey Jones driving? It has to be Train B. You know “high on cocaine..Casey Jones you better watch your speed.”

18. Dog or cat or…? Dog - Any being that can lick its’ own balls … then run over and lick your face and somehow convince you that they love you in the process - they’ve just got it going on don’t ya think? 19. Complete this sentence: People often ask me______. Where did you get that beautiful hair?

20. Well, what do you tell them? ”Wal-Mart - aisle four.”
