Join Chris on air this week chatting with two exceptionally talented Scottish ladies - Alison and Fiona McNeill. 

A great interview with two exceptionally talented ladies - Alison and Fiona McNeill. They are members of Reely Jiggered, described as a Celtic folk fusion band from Scotland.

You have to hear them to believe it!! Their music, inspired by Celtic folk, is a fusion of funk, rock, pop and jazz.

And you can hear them in action on the show. Chris will be playing a number of their tracks from  their third album titled "Tricky Terrain" and he will be talking to them about their first time on stage in Northern Ireland at The Black Box, Belfast on Sunday 31st July, 2022 at 7pm! 

Brian Cassidy, president of the Belfast Burns Association, pops in to talk about the gig in The Black Box.  It has been organised by both the Belfast Burns Association and St. Andrews Society Belfast. Reely Jiggered are supported by singer/songwriter Brendan Monaghan. All proceeds from the event are to raise awareness and support for Motor Neurone Disease.

Reely Jiggered have headlined at many international festivals in Italy, Germany, Mexico and Japan, to name but a few.  Alison graduated with a Masters in Performance with the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland in 2013.  She is also a Director of the National Junior Choir of Northern Ireland.  Her singing debut was at the age of 16 with the Royal Scottish national Orchestra in the Glasgow Royal Concert Hall.  She has performed for the Queen, Prince Charles, and the First Minister for Scotland.  Alison has sang the Scottish national Anthem at Scottish International Rugby games.  The list of accolades are endless!
