We recently played at the Edinburgh folk club. Paul and myself have played there before but this was the first time the full band had been. It was a really enjoyable gig and you can read feedback on footstompin.com. GIGS, REVIEWS & SUNBATHING

 We have been very busy with gigs the last few months. In August we had our first trip to Spain to play at the Festival Internacional de la Sierra. Although we only played one night they gave us accomodation for five nights so we had plenty of time to spend at the pool. Also there from Scotland were Seylan Baxter, Cheyenne Brown and Ruaridh Pringle and....GIRVAN REVIEW

 We just returned from the 7th Moniaive Folk Festival. It was our third visit to the town and as expected we had a great time. The festival was the busiest yet and there were 72 entrants for the piping competition alone......MULLIGANS BAR, AMSTERDAM

We've just had word that our own Ruairidh Macmillan has got through to the final of the BBC Radio Scotland Young Traditional Musician Awards!
If the concert at the Catholic Hall was anything to judge by, this year's festival has been truly inspiring. Girvan regular Sean Donnelly and newcomers The Paul McKenna Band were among the line up of immensely gifted singer songwriters on stage Saturday night.....
Last week the Paul Mckenna Band (minus Ruairidh unfortunately) were playing in Mulligans Irish bar in Amsterdam. This was a second trip for Ewan, Paul and David, but a first for myself. Old and new friends were met and we also came across some great musicians. Of course we couldn't keep ourselves to Mulligans alone......
Last weekend we played for the first time at Girvan Folk Festival. Paul, Ewan and Seán have been attending the festival for years so it was great for them to be on the stage this time. We were all hoping to hear the Lúnasa concert on Saturday night but of course we were on stage at another venue at the same time.... 
Its been quite eventful so far. We have been trying to book a lot of gigs this year but still hitting brick walls with some folk but we'll keep trying. Some of it has paid of and we will be appearing at a number of great festivals alongside some very good bands including Girvan Folk Fest with Lunasa and Rallion, Moniaive with Altan and Cumnock Fest with the Chilli Pipers......
