So how traditional do you like you music at Hogmanay? This year Hootananny on Church Street, Inverness brings in the bells with its Hogmanany Extravaganza over two floors of the venue.

Hootananny on the ground floor will play host to a Scottish ceilidh in the form of The Scone Fairies & Friends – lifelong enthusiasts for Scottish Traditional music will call all the Scottish dances giving an authentic and traditional Scottish Hogmanay experience.

Chartered surveyor by day, music reviewer by night, and occasionally I get to use my camera. A strange mix, but one that I enjoy. A chance meeting in the queue for Bella in 2010 led to the opportunity to write for InvernessGigs; a far cry from the days of writing for a football fanzine back in the late 80s, early 90s. My interests lie between the mainstream, the emerging and the local. Increasingly I find that we have more than enough locally to entertain us to necessitate a trip south. I’m always happy to give a listen, whatever the genre. Inverness has a plethora of talent, all of which I am more than keen to write about. If it encourages just one person to make the effort to listen to some new music I’ll be happy. You can contact Frank direct via frankieboyfin@gmail.com
