The upcoming Scottish shows by Amy Rigby are her first UK outings with a band.

But not just any band, several of the same combo that'll be bringing the ol' Dirty Water Club down this impending Friday.

Tony Thewlis, Rob Coyne and Yan Quellian will be joining Amy for what will hopefully be the first of many. A little bit country and a whole heapin' helpin' of rock'n'roll. Oh yes! You can do one or both, 1st December (Glasgow) and 3rd December (Edinburgh). Take yer pick.

Pictured this afternoon just a couple o' miles down the road from HQ while out there havin' fun in the warm november sun. Maybe this global heathing thing ain't such a bad deal after all...
