"Yuptae are a young band, hailing from the vibrant music scene in Glasgows South Side. They play a driving mix of flute, button accordion, banjo and fiddle, all held together with a superb backline of guitar, piano and drums.

Having cut their teeth as members of the famous St Rochs Ceili Band, before coming together to form Yuptae, they have a strong sense and respect for where their music comes from, and are not afraid to experiment with their fresh, exciting and innovative arrangements of traditional, contemporary and self-penned tunes.

This is a band who show great promise, and Im sure we can expect to hear great things from them in the future especially after their triumphant win at the 2011 Danny Kyle Open Stage"

They play both Scottish and Irish music, with a particular focus on Scottish Gaelic and Scots song. Their sound is heavily influenced by time spent in the Outer Hebrides, an area rich in music and song, as well as the places and experiences they have since encountered through music.

A brilliant Burns Night at Partick Folk Club

Young students from RSAMD displayed their talents to great effect. Fergus Muirhouse gave a rousing rendition of Tam O'Shanter and Irene West delivered the haggis to Colin Greive's piping.

Another real treat was seeing Peter and Gavin Livingstone play together and everyone joined in Peter's wonderful song: The Mission Hall

Mick West reminded everyone of the sad death of the wonderful songwriter Alistair Hulett and glasses were raised in his memory.

I'm now living in Glasgow ~4 months/year and would love to get on the folk club email list and also to find out your current and future calendar. Please add me to your email list and/or tell me where to find up-to-date calendars. Cheers!

Hi Mick, I'm singer Heather Innes & you can check me out at www.cluniemusic.com. Over the years (don't ask how many!) I've sung solo, in duo "Caim" (still do) & in a duo with Ciaran Dorris. Ciaran is following his own singer/songwriter star these days & I have asked some great musicians to work with me in a 4 piece band. They are Hugh Rice & Jim MacDougall of Tighnamara and Billy Robertson. We are a very strong band vocally with 3 vocalists and also in the lineup are guitars, mandolin, mouthie, whistle & bodhrans. We have a variety of music from trad & contemporary folk to blues & beyond. Please would you consider us for a booking at Partick folk club? We all live in the Glasgow/Stirling area so don't have far to travel to you. Thanks Heather

Hello Mick We are a two-piece (sometimes more) band based in Inverness hoping to extend our gigging beyond local venues. Lots of info can be found on our Reverbnation page: www.reverbnation.com/redhookrapids where you'll see that in the last few months we've managed to rake up a nice bunch of support slots for some great artists. We do a wide range of music including folk, acoustic, blues, Americana and even a little bit of country. Many of our songs are self-penned though we do throw in a few covers from time to time. We would love to come and play at Partick Folk Club. Let us know if we can give you any more details. Thanks for now Best regards Ally & Donald Red Hook Rapids

Hello, I would like to promote Phil Drane as a potential guest at your club. Phil will be touring Scotland in the future, so it would be good to add Partick FC to his gig list. Please check out Phil's website www.phildrane.com where you can listen to samples of Phil's music, read his bio and see an uptodate gig listing. Please email me if you have any interest in discussing a booking. Kind regards Glennis

Hello, I can't find your 2011 calendar. Who is performing the last Friday night of April, 2011? I'm looking for a venue to bring 29 Canadians and Americans to hear some trad. or contemporary folk music. Cheers, Nadine

Hi, I'd like to know how I can get a ticket for Sarah McQuaid's gig in September. If you could let me know I'd appreciate it. Thanks

Hello from Colorado, USA! We are 20 veteran touring folkies here in the states, and we are making a return visit to Scotland in April/May 2011. We perform on multiple instruments, have won songwriting awards in Ireland, and have a national championship, 9 recordings and other credentials (that even my Mother doesn’t want to know about) to prove our musical value. However… The real scoop is this: we are fun, put on a great show, highest quality musicianship, easy to work with, and…. We LOVE SCOTLAND!! So… could you advise me on how to be considered for a performance slot? We have some studio type video clips, and audio clips on our website www.jigheads.com or we are on YouTube and Facebook if you prefer those avenues. I also have loads of hard copy press packages that are nearly extinct in this cyber booking biz, but I’m happy to send them if you request it! We would very much appreciate an opportunity to share our western US music with your audiences! Thanks very much for your time and consideration!! All the best, Kim McKee
