DEAN OWENS, THE FELSONS AND FRIENDS
Returning in a blaze of glory (with as little similarity to Bon Jovi as is humanly possible, let us promise you) Felsons frontman and renowned solo songwriter Owens corrals in a few pals in for a full-on festive hootnanny. Shetland born singer/songwriter Sheila Henderson comes out in support while his new backing band the Significant Others comprises drummer Mattie Foulds, Malinky’s Karine Polwart on guitars and backing vocals, Marianne Campbell from Deaf Shepherd on fiddle and Felsons man Kev McGuire on double bass. They will be followed by the first live performance in Edinburgh by the Felsons in over two years with ‘the odd guest joining in too’ Owens assures. (Mark Robertson)
