What a Shiny week!!!

So, pipped to the post by big Mr W... All I can say is what a week!

After a couple of weeks getting psychologically prepared, 7.15am on Tuesday 22nd February we were on the Real Breakfast Show with Ewen & Cat. Not only was this a fantastic opportunity for Andy, Stevie, Iain and myself to perform acoustically to potentially the biggest audience ever - it was also a great opportunity to visit my good friends Ewen & Cat in their own environment.

Somebody Told Me is not the easiest song to sing at the best of times but at the crack of dawn before I'd had my usual 16 coffees, I was scared! Boy was I scared!! The outcome was with the exception of a dry throat meaning the fumbling of 2 words, we played a blinder! The sound was great and the balance of all instruments & voices both on air and on the video was exceptional!

Amazing experience for us and one we can't thank Real enough for! I have to say though, ALL the acts on Scotland's Real Talent were fantastic! Best of luck to everyone...

So how could the week get any better?

Here's how.... My best bud and lead guitar hero Andy and I trotted off to the Alhambra in Dunfermline to see the incredible KT Tunstall on Wednesday night.

This was the first time either Andy or I had seen KT and all I can say is WOW!!! Utterly amazing gig and we both came out full of ideas of what we could do with The Shine (no, not a full set of KT hits).

So, back to the mundane next week....

Take care, peace & best of luv,
