Walk of the week

"Heatherhall Woods is a lovely place to walk the dog. It's great in winter as the trees shelter you from the worst of the wind and it's cool in the height of summer. A series of pathways intersect the wood which gives you a choice of routes. It's a great place for kids too, my girls used to love going there when they were younger to play hide and seek and a game they created called 'log loser'"

 
A92 just past Fruechie, take the left fork after the bridge. Continue for a few hundred yards and you'll see the car parking area to your left.

Music Makers Blues Review

 

John Scofield Band w/ Dennis Chambers+Mike Stern & Randy Brecker

image credit

 

"Two of the biggest guitar stars of jazz and fusion in a very rare and incendiary jazz guitar double bill – both with all star bands, including the legendary trumpeter, Randy Brecker and drummers, Dennis Chambers and Lenny White.
 
“Scofield can make his guitar howl, plead, laugh, argue, and preach – deep passion and almost unbearable beauty” (The Scotsman).
 
A man of many parts, a virtuoso guitarist with a genuine jazz sensibility. He worked with historic figures like Miles, Mingus, Chet Baker and created many historic groups of his own. Uberjam is his hard-groove band playing funk-oriented jazz-rock, propelled by the red-hot Dennis Chambers on drums.
 
Mike Stern's four-decade career featured stints with Blood, Sweat & Tears, Billy Cobham, Miles Davis, Jaco Pastorius, the Brecker Brothers and Joe Henderson, before he launched a solo career that has propelled to him to a global star. 16 recordings as a leader (six nominated for GRAMMY® Awards) and thousands of high energy gigs, with many of the greats of the current scene – including this band with co-leader and fellow giant of the New York jazz and fusion scene, Randy Brecker.
 
Two electrifying soloists whose blistering chops combine rock–blues firepower with sophisticated jazz harmonies.
 
John Scofield (guitar), Avi Bortnick (rhythm guitar/samplers), Andy Hess (bass), Dennis Chambers (drums).
 
Mike Stern (guitar), Randy Brecker (trumpet), Teymur Phell (bass), Lenny White (drums)"

"Featuring Gilson Lavis with special guest Chris Difford and guest vocalists Ruby Turner, Louise Marshall & Beth Rowley + Ten Millenia as support.
 
The King of boogie boogie, swing and R&B, Jools Holland is back for another energy-fuelled show with his fantastic Rhythm & Blues Orchestra, raising the roof of the Festival Theatre once again.
 
Despite selling millions of records throughout his career and hosting the most successful British TV music show ever, he’s always up for touring and the amazing electricity his live shows generate.
 
‘Later with…Jools Holland’ is now in its 46th series! Jools’ name is synonymous with quality music. His star studded band featuring ex-Squeeze drummer, Gilson Lavis, and regular guest vocalists, Ruby Turner, Beth Rowley and Louise Marshall, are joined for this tour by Jools’ long time Squeeze colleague, Chris Difford."

There you have it for another week, we hope you find something interesting to do here and have a great week, here’s hoping for sunshine!

Disclaimer:  A K Campbell and Son are not affiliated with any event or outing we share here, it’s just stuff we think is fun and so, if you have any problems you have to go to the organisers of the event or whatever, not us.

Basically, we’re not being paid by anyone to post for them or making any money from any sales i.e tickets etc. And, if injured, it’s on your own head.
You are legally responsible for yourselves!

Rich might be getting paid for his gig but it has nothing to do with the shop. Plus it’s free to get in anyway. And they’re good!!

What are you up to this weekend, got anything to add?  Comment below.

Hopefully see you in our jewellery shop on Kirkcaldy High Street soon.
