EX-Macs News via the "retired" guy, Ian
Nick and Stephen start their Danish tour soon. They've had great crits for their concerts together, so try to get to one of the gigs. Ian.
Greentrax Recordings will celebrate its 25th Anniversary with a Showcase Concert on Saturday 15th October 2011, 7.30pm at The Queen’s Hall in Edinburgh. There will be two different 20 minute sets featuring songs from albums recorded at Kevock Digital, "Far Far From Ypres" and "Steele the Show"
OUT NOW... the first (and final) Macs' DVD!
"McCalmans Final Concert Uncut + The Good Old Days"
Well, I think it's great, better than I could ever have hoped for. The new DVD is available now. If you've not got PayPal or a credit/debit card, get in touch via the "contacts" page. Probably the best way to see what's on the DVD is to click on the cover picture on the "Home" page. Run-time of 2hours 45 minutes, High Definition plus old Macs' archive footage. Nick and Stephen will be selling the DVDs at gigs and hope to have some for the German tour.
GIGS
My studio will be busy in the next few months with eight projects including Stairheid Gossip, The Linties, Simon Kempston, Anne Renshaw, Corinne Scott and that young chap, Stephen Quigg.
Souvenir Booklet is out NOW
The Macs have produced, with the help of "Living Tradition", 24 fascinating pages of the group's history, filled with old photos, reminiscences and some hilarious memories of times recent and past. It's a limited edition of 1000. See our home page for details.
Old Macs Albums
Great news, all the old macs albums are now available to buy. The albums are recorded as "one-off" CDs and include copies of the original artwork. The price for each album is £15, which is payable by cheque or paypal once you have received the album. For more details or to place an order, get in touch via "Buy the Macs' Music" or via the "contact" page and we can tell you how to do it.
McCalmans 'The Greentrax Years'
The new double album 'The Greentrax years' has broken all sales records for a Macs CD. If you don't know by now, it's a double CD (for the price of a single) with tracks selected from all the albums from 'The Ettrick Shepherd' right up to the most recent album 'Coming Home' presents a cross section of McCalmans material through the many years with Greentrax.
