Caithness music

[wiseman]

Having recently returned to my homeland, god's country (Wick to be specific) I am keen to explore the modern day musicians and local bands in the area.
So far I have heard the name Boss hog being mentioned and am aware they have a show coming up in the poor side of Caithness. I am a keen Scottish music enthusiast but am open minded to anyone trying to do something new.
On another subject, from reading this fine website, I am disspapointed to see that the same paranoia and unwillingness to give newcomers a fair chance is still alive after all these years away! (I see the thread has also been removed!).

Tut tut, some people will never mature!

thankyou my good man (or woman), its been a while since i've heard some good local music. hopefully some good accordian players will convince me that there is still some talent around this barren land. can anyone tell me anything about boss hog? my good lady informs me that they are a type of celtic rock. i look forward to hearing them although i feel they may be a bit loud!

celtic rock......................I think they describe themselves as "melodic rock"

Shutter are all instrumental which I must say is really refreshing

& the last time I checked I was of the male gender, although I'm sure there are orgers who'll argue

Welcome to the forum wiseman..Boss Hogg are an energetic four piece melodic rock band, who are incidentally playing in the Redwood this Saturday with a couple of other bands as well. They rock.. Do you play any instruments wiseman?

Well you could visit my website and buy our latest album, all proceeds are going to charity....god I don't miss a single chance to plug the album,lol.
Anyway the album is called "Lonely Road" and you can listen to the title track on the site before you buy.

As Chobbers and Doc quite rightly said, we are a non celtic, melodic rock band. We write and play all our own stuff with the odd cover thrown in for good measure.

Hope you come along on Saturday night. We get all sorts of ages at our gigs, from 14 to 70 (that's right, there was a 70 year old chap at the E.P launch who stayed all night and thoroughly enjoyed himself).

Hope this was of some use to you, and if not, check out http://www.bosshogg.co.uk and http://www.myspace.com/bosshogguk

Cheers,
BH

Thankyou all for the local links!

In this context I define newcomer in the local recording sense.

Then there were no newcomers in the pulled thread that you referred to>

You have not yet told us what your instument is. Is it a secret?

[wiseman]

So from that comment am I correct to assume that Doc Rock is not offering a 'new' recording service? I stand corrected if this is the case and will replace 'newcomers' with 'anyone' in reference to my first post.

Correct, I haven't told you what I play yet (sorry was I supposed to?) and no it isn't a secret.

[Chobbersjnr]

erm you have been asked

































so whad'ya play...................if it aint a secret

[wiseman]

Erm, yes I may have been asked but its not actually a requirement for me to do so

Or maybe it is?

Only joking, I play fiddle, violin and piano. All good fun.

Twas Doc Rock who asked if you play any instruments. We all wait with bated breath for your game to reveal itself.
