news article for Auld Hat New Heids in 2017

Posted: 29th March 2017

​Auld Hat New Heids - four of Scotland’s top folk singers and musicians recreate the fabulous fun days of the 1960s and 70s on the Scottish Folk scene: Pete Clark (fiddle), Gregor Lowrey (accordion), Fraser Bruce (vocal) and Ian Bruce (vocal, guitar, mandolin).

Visit Fraser Bruce’s website to see all forthcoming Auld Hat New Heids Scottish performance dates in 2017.

Following what proved to be a very successful run of concerts in 2016, the quartet played to a sell-out audience at the 2017 Celtic Connections festival in January.

Their audiences have enjoyed the nostalgia of a trip back to the early days of the folk clubs of the 1960s and 70s and the group have received wonderful show reviews.

Come along and sing along!

“Scottish songs that we all know but are now seldom heard will have you singing your heart out…”

The Greentrax mascot Mairibeg passed away recently, much to the sadness of all of the Greentrax staff - this little West Highland terrier will be missed.

We are receiving great feedback on Alan Bell’s album The Cocklers (Songs From A Time And Place) from radio presenters and reviewers.

Feedback on recent releases from Eric Bogle with John Munro (Voices), Freeland Barbour & Friends (The Music And The Land) and The McCalmans (Lost Tracks) is also excellent. Our mail order has been busy over the past few months!

Auld Hats New Heids headlined at Celtic Connections last month and was reported to be a “memorable night” - the group “put on the show of their lives”. The line-up includes Fraser & Ian Bruce (vocals and guitars) with Gregor Lowrey (accordion) and Pete Clark (fiddle). A tour around the country continues and it would a mistake to miss it.
