COUNTRY GOLD

As this weblog was linkled to the radio show(see post below) , it will now be found at www.scotcountry.blogspot.com, where we will continue to report on Country music news of particular interest to fans in Central Scotland.

The powers that be have dropped most of Central FM's weekend programming, in favour of non-local networked programming. That means that , after 15 years and 1,028 programmes, the station's longest running presenter, Stewart Fenwick, who presented the station's popular Country music show has been dropped.
The last programme was broadcast last Sunday, October 16th, and Stewart received a telephone call the following day advising him of the immediate cancellation of the programme, which will be replaced by a Top 40 Pop chart show.

Next year's Northern Nashville Festival will once again be held in Halkirk, Caithness over the Easter weekend (April 14-16).
Janie Fricke and Joy Lynn White headline from the USA, alongside European acts, Frank Jansen, Texas Renegade & The Honky Tonk Pickers.
The Irish contingent features Robert Mizzell, Sharon Turley, Jimmy Henry and Kim Dickenson, whilst homegrown talent will include Manson Grant, Caledonia and Kate Bain. Gerry Ford will compere the event.
A really exciting line up. Ticket details to follow soon.
