Iain Thomson & Marc Duff 

15th July                                         

Iain has been described as a man who writes contemporary songs with a traditional twist.

Iain’s compositions are written sensitively and his songs and tunes of the changing face of rural Argyll move the hearts and souls of his audience. Marc is known primarily for co-founding Capercaillie with whom he has toured extensively and made many successful recordings.
