As every year, Simon has new songs and a new CD in his luggage Moonrise over Mostar’ - Christmas is just around the corner and there are many stockings which need filling!

Most of this may be known to the most studious amongst you but one can always glean something new, even if its the fact that yes he is Scottish, born in Dundee and living in Edinburgh, but YES he did once actually appear and perform in a kilt!
We all have imaginations. thank goodness, and while Simon was describing the size of a fish that he's allegedly angled it turned out it was a salmon that he merely tickled out of the Wester Ross salmon fishery farm in Loch Broom! Did he perhaps smuggle the contraband salmon out under his kilt we wonder?
Simon doing a Tommy Cooper impression, "just like that, Just like that!" (I told you he was magical!!!)
So if you don't wish to miss a wonderful evening I recommend that you come early to wine and dine in comfort and secure a ringside seat for Simon. (If you could get any closer to the stage, you would actually be on it!)
