Our next live broadcast will take place on Tuesday 22nd May at 8.00pm (UK Time).

Tune in to join Dougie and his long time friends (and former Tannahill Weavers band mates) Roy Gullane and Phil Smilie. They will share some songs and tunes and chat about the early days of the band (in the 1970s) giving an insight into what it was like to be involved in the birth of what is now the burgeoning trad band scene in Scotland.

For our live broadcast in April we were very lucky to have the wonderful Fiona Ritchie join Dougie and chat to him about his life in music, sharing anecdotes from the past and learning what the future holds. We had overwhelming response to the show with people getting in touch from all corners of the globe.

Here is a wee taster of the show.

So today we have been getting ready for tomorrow nights broadcast - a conversation with my good friend Fiona Ritchie who is the host and mastermind behind "Thistle and Shamrock", one of the most successful American public radio shows playing Scottish and Irish music. Fiona has been responsible for bringing the work of many Scottish musicians to a large American audience. I'm really looking forward to the show! I will also be singing a few wee songs as part of our conversation...see you there.

Its been a crazy, hectic month behind the scenes at butterstone.tv. We have been getting our heads around new equipment and workshop and also making plans for the future. The response to our first four live broadcasts has been very positive with people from USA to Australia tuning in....Very exciting.

The whole of the Butterstone Studios team hit the road and made the long trip by car and ferry (and then car again) for our latest live broadcast. Never content with taking the easy option we decided to do our live broadcast from Dougie's house on the West Coast of the Isle of Lewis.

In the days leading up to the broadcast Dougie and Jenny were treated to glorious sunshine and blue skies... sadly this was not to last and by the time the rest of us arrived this had turned to howling gales and driving rain. Things were a bit touch and go at times and as we set up all the equipment there were worries that would we wouldn't be able to go ahead with it.

Thankfully solutions were found to all the weather problems and once again the performance was sent out all around the globe via the wonders of the internet. Once again we had people tuning in from a number of different countries including the USA, Canada and various different parts of Europe.
