Last Month's Edition



Scottish Showtime can now claim that it is the longest running Variety Show in Scotland..the show which originated at the Cummings Hotel in Inverness ..and ran there for many years with great success, under the Direction of ex Theatre Manager, my old friend and mentor, - Scottish agent John Worth. ...Highland based, top variety act The Marlettes ..Bob and Maggie ..took over the Production after John passed away some years ago ..and the Show moved to it's new Home, at the Spectrum Centre Theatre Inverness.
This year celebrates it's 32nd Season ..with yet a new home for the Show for the 2004 Season from the 7th of June to the 10th of September - it will now be seen at the Inverness Suite - Ramada Hotel in Church Street nightly at 8.30pm Monday to Thrursday June/July and Monday to Friday during August/September. The perfect blend of a typical Highland Ceilidh ..Scottish Showtime has been seen by thousands of people from Around the World who have visited Inverness during the Tourist season, many of which have returned again and again to see the show.The show was also awarded "The Best Visitor Attraction for 2002".

Roland Releases new Accordion product.


Roland recently introduced it's new Reedless Accordion products ..the FR-7 and FR-5. With 22 onboard Orchestral sounds and 7 Orchestral Bass sounds that can be mixed together with traditional accordion sounds. Definitely a new era in Accordion Sounds...it boasts Expandable creative possibilities to explore new performance options not achievable using traditional instruments.Just when some of us were getting used to Mastering MIDI ..This is a whole new concept.
Although some of us accordion "purists" like myself still prefer Reeds and Midi ..This New accordion will certainly be watched closely - to see how it performs, not only on stage, but in the Market place.



Until Next Month - Bye For Now !
