After a short break following a long summer of festivals we are back touring again, this time in the UK.

It’s nice to be back on the road again, even if it is only the M6. We had some great gigs last week in Langholm, The Bury Met on Friday and Chichester on Sunday night. We are using this tour as a chance to play in some new material live in preparation for recording our new studio album due for release summer 2012. This week we’ll be at Nottingham Uni, Saltaire and at the Traditional Music Awards at Perth Horsecross on Saturday night. Then we finish off our pre Christmas shows with a trip to Kendal’s Brewery Arts Centre – how do we always manage to end up in a brewery?!

After the 15th Anniversary excitement and success of the GINORMOUS Big Band tour with at times 19 people on stage we are starting off our 16th year with a small band tour of intimate venues in the Scottish Highland and Islands. The Salsa Celtica Acoustic Band presents “The Small Island Sessions” featuring members of the group in a smaller acoustic band set up. The “sessions” will focus on exploring Afro Latin American Folkloric music together with the Scots and Irish Gaelic traditions. Hopefully see you there!

We’re taking advantage of the being snowed in to sort out some gigs for next year. We’ve got some great gigs lined up, including a Scottish small band tour in May 2011 and a French tour in the summer. We’ve got summer festival dates lined up in the UK too – keep tuned for more information!
