BTW have you heard of a great wee up and coming trio from Renfrew and surrounds - Quirky Jade?? Three lassies - Aileen, Izzi and Joni singing mainly unaccompanied and covering everything from their own original perspective to traditional and folk from Scotland (including Burns and Gaelic). A bit eclectic which makes for a varied programme and some surprises!! Playing tomorrow in Paisley http://www.paisleyfestivalcompany.com/process_tickets.php?Eve_id=231&action=select and can be heard at http://www.reverbnation.com/quirkyjade. Keep up the great podcast!!

I came across your podcast and I absolutely love it! The music is magical and you're great Simon. It's pretty difficult to find somewhere to hear Scottish music over here in Australia. My favourite is the fiddle, especially playing Scottish country dances. Keep it up! Hello! I came across your podcast and I absolutely love it! The music is magical and you’re great Simon.

I'm thoroughly enjoying FootStompin podcasts and have been since around podcast number 16 (and have since downloaded the rest)! Just wanted to leave a big 'thanks' out here for you. You've introduced so much Scottish music to me that I wouldn't have possibly found otherwise. Also, thank you for featuring Salsa Celtica. It's blowing my mind. I am amazed at the melodious blends they are able to create out of seemingly opposite spectra of music. As always, loving your choices for the podcast! Keep up the great work. Best, Catherine Simon-

I had a chance to travel in Scotland last month and took a couple of your podcasts with me to listen to on the plane ride over. I ended up on a small tour bus traveling around the highlands and Orkney. Our tour guide was playing Scottish music over the bus sound system from her ipod. When she asked if anyone had anything else they would like to play, I passed by my ipod with your podcasts on it. Everyone just loved it the music, and your introduction to Gary Innes/Ewan Rovertson's song "Can't sing tonight, for I left my teeth at home" totally cracked up the bus. No one had heard of your podcast, so I gladly provided the link. Funny that an American traveling in Scotland would introduce them to their music! I also had a chance to attend a ceilidh in Oban and saw Session A9 perform. They were incredible, you should check them out. One of their members also plays for the Peatbog Faeries. Of course, no Scottish music would be complete without the classic "Flower of Scotland" by The Corries. I am back in the US now. I love the podcast, and miss Scotland already. Keep up the good work.
