"Fozzie" at Adelaides Soundcheck with GCU Students

to play a couple of weekend gigs at the George Hotel. This talented Vocalist and Musician came to our attention when he was a guest on the Celtic Connection 2013 Radio Programmes from Adelaide’s in Bath Street Glasgow broadcast live on both Celtic Music Radio 1530AM and Dunoon Community Radio 97.4FM.

At this time of year there is the traditional Burn’s Night celebrations with still more to come and FOZZIE is  keeping the tradition alive with traditional song, soon to heard at the Village Inn at Arrochar.

As the first of the festivals begin Fozzie will be back in Inveraray in May for the Famous Bluebell Festival appearing again at The George Hotel.
