Earlier this year, I did some recording with the great Spanish singer, Russian Red, for an album called Fuerteventura, which she came to Glasgow to record with Tony Doogan.

Since it has been finished she has been around the world, playing around Europe as well as in the Far East, but so far hasn’t been to the UK. That all changes in January with 2 shows – one in Glasgow and one in London – at which Bob and I are joining some of her usual touring band members for the show.

The Glasgow show is at The Mitchell Theatre on Sunday 22nd January, The London one is the following night at The Union Chapel in Islington. Both are with Rachel Sermanni.

Here’s a clip about the making of the album:

After the London show, Bob and I are flying to Rome, for a series of four shows with the Vaselines. . more details to follow.
