Way back in May, when we needed to postpone the Cardney Concerts (for a second time due to Covid 19), we believed that re-scheduling to March 2021 was a really safe way to proceed. We said then that tickets would be on sale from November 24th 2020. Little did we know then what a year it would be!…

The March 2021 dates for the Cardney Concerts are looking unlikely because of advice we have received relating to the organisation of concerts and festivals before the summer of 2021. Therefore tickets will not be on sale for those dates.

We can’t say at present what the Cardney Concert dates will be in 2021…or when tickets will go on sale. When it has been decided that is is safe to organise inside concerts for audiences of 200+ at Cardney we will reschedule and announce on Dougie’s website, Facebook and via the Dougie MacLean newsletter when tickets will go on sale.

We hope that everyone reading this stays safe and well … and that we see you all at some time during 2021.
Cheers,
Jenny

It’s Saturday Surprise again…as the last autumn leaves fall from the trees here’s my watercolour of our view beyond the garden gate…along the Buckney Burn!! Tonight we have pleasure in bringing another concert ‘free of charge’ for you all to enjoy! Dougie will sing a selection of requested songs … with more of his engaging stories of course! We know from emails and messages that the music and the regular global get togethers are still really helping folk in these very troubled times….as we reach SO MANY countries worldwide. So come and join us live for 30 minutes at 9pm (UK time)….or you can watch it later if you prefer. We have heard from people of all ages who are living in so many different situations… do carry on letting us know where you’re viewing from … and please keep sharing this to spread the word even further to friends and family…or to anyone you think would enjoy the music! Keep looking after yourselves and each other! Cheers, Jenny

We are pleased to launch our new online store today!

In celebration we are making available for sale for the first time a very special CD Called “Footsteps From Home”. This instrumental music was written and recorded by Jamie MacLean at Butterstone Studios in Scotland during the autumn and winter of 2019 while creating the music for the award winning film "Sherpas Speak".

   

The Sherpa people are a distinct indigenous group with a rich heritage and culture. Preserving local traditions and the way of life is a key priority for those that live in the Khumbu - the Sherpa homeland. The film provides a voice for their concerns as many feel their traditional life is under threat. The album is a varied and evocative musical journey.

All profits from the sale of this album will go to The Little Sherpa Foundation (Charity Number SCO47634). Founded in 2015, the charity has been working hard on Building Projects especially after the earthquakes of 2015, including schools & health clinics; Supporting Education by providing scholarships, Sherpa teachers & educational materials; Health Care by rebuilding the health clinics and providing access to nurses, doctors & medicines; Earthquake Relief by providing temporary shelters, clothing & food to the most vulnerable people. For more info www.the littlesherpafoundation.com

Thanks to: Tim Edey for accordion on Tracks 10 and 12; Dougie MacLean for mandolin on Track 9; James Lamb for photographs; Callum and Lewis for album illustrations. All tracks composed by Jamie MacLean and Published by Limetree Arts and Music.

Stay safe and well everyone!
