November 2017 - News from Butterstone
Before anything else…take a minute and book now for Dougie’s special concert on Wednesday 24th January in the Glasgow Royal Concert Hall during Celtic Connections 2018! Tickets are selling fast and we have a feeling it’s going to be a very special night. Here's a link for buying tickets http://www.celticconnections.com/events/Pages/event.aspx?ev=5eef0c71-57e1-4b54-96b3-a815011a5131
We’ve had a truly great run of concerts over the last few months…from 4 sold out concerts in the north east USA to sell-outs at the the Cornwall Festival in Wadebridge and the Banbury Festival in Oxfordshire, England. Then came our great concerts in Scotland from Findhorn and Strathpeffer in the north to New Galloway in the borders via Falkirk, Greenock, Paisley, Milngavie and ending in Cairndow, Loch Fyne! All fantastic audiences and really moving experiences.
Confirmed concerts for 2018 are coming in steadily now…so keep an eye on the concert list on Dougie’s website https://www.dougiemaclean.com/index.php/tour-dates and, to avoid disappointment, book early!!

…and
Don’t forget our Butterstone online store! It’s a really good idea to order really early any items you may want for Christmas or the New Year (especially Caledonia T-Towels, magnets and key-rings which many have discovered are easy and cheap to post to friends and relations!!).
For Dougie CDs, DVDs, songbooks, my art prints and cards or the ever popular 'Caledonia' CD package!…remember our shop is the only way (apart from queueing up at concerts of getting them signed….but please give us plenty of time to organise your orders at this time of year.
