My YouTube debut

While soundchecking for the Rapal TV show a few weeks ago I noticed Niall-Iain, the show’s producer, sitting on the floor watching a few feet away. It seems he had his digital camera on him at the time as well and he’s just uploaded this to his YouTube page:

Rapal TV shoot

Last week I went to Stornoway on the Isle of Lewis to record 4 songs for the BBC Alba music TV show, Rapal. It was an amazing experience, helped by the fact that I had Mark & Garry with me to keep me company and make me sound better. The Rapal crew were total pro’s and nice people as well.

Here are some pics from our travels:

Thanks to Mark, Garry and the Rapal crew for a fantastic few days.
