Here I am preparing to go on stage with Foster and Allen at our music weekend held every year in Jury’s Inn, Dyce. We played Walking on the Waves and The Bluebell Polka. This is a huge honour for me, I’ve looked up to Foster and Allen since I was 10 years old.

Meeting with church elders in St John’s Kirk, Perth, for my Christmas Concert with the band on December 7. This venue is spectacular and has an amazing sound.

Warming up and relaxing for our show with the band in the Campsie Accordion and Fiddle Club in Lennoxtown and promoting our concert in Stirling in February. This chair is so comfy, I’d like one on the van travelling… as if!

All ready for the stage in the Isle of Skye, Royal Hotel. I’ve performed in Skye for many years and love the scenery, but being from Caithness, I’m just not used to all the rain it seems to get when we are there!

Performing at the Castle of Mey for very special private guests of the Prince’s Foundation. The last time I was performing here was in August for Prince Charles, as he was then. A wonderful venue steeped in so much history.
