Since night 1 sold out in a jiffy, we shall let Santa come and Hogmanay pass, the. Do it again…all different of course!

Dundee date of this little winter tour.

A joyful celebration of improvised music and friendship from a trio of unique Scottish artists.

Fraser Campbell has been based in NYC for many years now, but he is from Perth, and returns when he can, to let loose with pal double bassist Roberto Cassani (who’s not strictly Scottish, but we’ve adopted him). The pairs’ 2023 album “Poet.Shuts.Clock” came out to rave reviews on the legendary Sunnyside Records. Meanwhile, Scotland’s guitar treasure Graeme Stephen, also released a critically acclaimed album with Roberto this year: “Pictish Spaghetti”, on Brooklyn label 577 Records.

The trio met this summer for one afternoon and almost accidentally ended up recording a belter of an album of groovy and ever changing free music: “La Cavallina”, soon to be released on brand new label ‘Music for the purpose of Joy’.

Now they are meeting up again for more of the same, but obviously different, and this time you can be there to witness it.

You will be made very welcome: it’s going to be friendly, joyful, a real one-off and totally in the moment.

Fraser coming doon from New York City and we'll play an intimate gig in this domed room with crazy-crazy acoustics, which will hopefully turn out to be very special indeed.

With the legendary Daniel Carter, Leo Genovese, Federico Ughi and the 577 Records crew making experimental music at the New York Forward Festival In the old Medina of Tangier - Morocco.

Cassani / Campbell are the utterly unique Italian double bassist and songwriter, Roberto Cassani, and the hugely gifted New York-based saxophonist and composer Fraser Campbell.

Their debut album arose from outdoor lockdown jams in Perth (Fraser's hometown and Roberto’s adopted home) and its title poet / shuts / clock is the geolocation tag for the bench in the city’s North Inch park where they’d meet to play. Released on US jazz label Sunnyside, it embraces spontaneous lyrics, quirky spoken word, bossa nova and the blues to create an unforgettable listening experience.

Earlier in lockdown, Roberto released Ansema, a joyous album of songs in the little-heard Rivoltano dialect of his hometown in northern Italy. Recorded with some of Scotland’s finest traditional musicians, the album rightly received rave reviews.

They’ve now put together a superb band that will combine material from both albums alongside some new instrumentals featuring Ross Ainslie (whistles), Graeme Stephen (guitar) and Doug Hough (drums).

£18.50 (including £2.50 booking fee); Under 18s Free

For one night only, I’m back with my friend Owen Nicholson because we had a distinct feeling that mischief was in short supply within music…so we chose Kirkcaldy’s famed Polish Club (hey!), one of our all time favourite venue, to remind ourselves (and hopefully quite a few other people) just how much of a giggle playing music can be…

We are going to play the album “Ansema we stand” with the people who helped me make it: John Somerville, Ross Ainslie, Steve Fivey, Anna Massie and Greg Lawson

This will be a special one-off performance with Ross Ainslie (pipes and whistles), Fraser Campbell (saxophone) and Jon Mackenzie (guitar)…and myself on double bass and vocals. We will have fun playing with space and improvisation on some compositions written by myself and Fraser.

Roberto Cassani’s Ansema is a dream band for me, featuring the genius musical talents of Ross Ainslie (pipes and whistles), Anna Massie (guitar), John Somerville (accordion), Greg Lawson (violin) and Stevie Fivey (drums), we will play my album “Ansema We Stand” in full in a wonderful room for the best world music winter festival in the world: Celtic Connections. Opening the show will be the fantastic Debra Salem, with her show “In a sma room”.

Due to Covid, this concert will be rescheduled for the spring.

Cancelled, obviously. Covid.

CANCELLED DUE TO CORONAVIRUS What has now become a much looked forward yearly extravaganza of playing my songs, hosting and introducing brilliant acts at the Saturday afternoon acoustic stage of this Fantastic little-big festival in the Scottish Highlands.
