Astonishingly, it's the first time Douglas has played for Limbo, though he's played at The Voodoo Rooms many times, as have his band - something of a Who's Who of the Scottish live music scene, no less. JAQUIMO are a new Edinburgh outfit, who play a funky stew of rock, pop and jazz built on a bedrock of soul. Dancing is the only goal for this group, and they pull together every groove, hook and harmony from all over the world into a whirligig celebration of being alive. And first on stage is ELYSSA VULPES, another new act. Through mists of old Gaelic ballads to 70s Italian alternative folk and

back again, inside waves of electronic experimentation and bluesy, jazzy contaminations, solace is found in stories and atmospheres that recall PJ Harvey, Cat Power, and Eddie Brickell.

Hitting the UK for the 1st time Celestial Wolves (Begium) bring their own brand of dynamic instrumental post rock to the 13th note, in support of their recently released debut album 'Wood for Wood' on Dunk! records.

If you haven't heard these guys before you're in for a treat, their sound encompasses eery melody, quirky time signatures and massive crescendos! Really not to be missed for fans of the genre. / Vasa have fast become one of Scotland's most talked about bands. Combing soaring instrumental passages with a truly uplifting, positive intensity, they really take us to a higher place. Constantly. Further guests to be announced so stay on the buzzer. 13th Note, 60 King St, Glasgow. Time 7.30pm £5 9 NOVEMBER

SID GRIFFIN brings his Coal Porters back to Woodend, last time they visited they blew everyone away with a blistering performance and we can expect more of the same this time, including tunes from their highly acclaimed new CD Find the one. Supporting the Coal Porters will be a favourite act of mine Andy Tucker who writes clever witty and downright fabulous tunes, one of which will be seen in a new drama with David Tennant set in Edinburgh. And to conclude the festival another great act returning to Woodend, Rod Picott, who also has a new album out and who I think is a fabulous song writer. The son of a welder from rural New England, Rod is a masterful songwriter and soulful singer who carries with him as fine a suitcase of songs as you'll find anywhere. Slaid Cleaves, Ray Wylie Hubbard and Fred Eagelsmith have recorded Rod Picott songs. A former construction worker who hung up his tools when he released his debut CD in 2000, Picott has carved a career for himself with a run of 6 beautifully crafted self-released CDs over the last 13 years and a well-earned reputation as an engaging, emotion fuelled performer. Supporting Rod will be Alan Tennie who is rightly making quite a reputation for himself and who has just released his first EP. Woodend Bowling and Tennis Club, 30 Chamberlain Road, Glasgow.

http://scotiabar.net/music.html OMAR SOULEYMAN. As one of the most fascinating figures in contemporary music, musician and singer Omar Souleyman’s Kurdish and Arabic songs have travelled from his native Syria across the world. As the internet’s globalisation of music continues to fuel interest within the contemporary

experimental electronic music scene for a vast diaspora of sounds, Omar Souleyman’s work has now reached a very special creative crossroads. As a footnote, we’re also sure that his performance will also be less turbulent than his last. Having fallen on the date of the now infamous ‘Hurricane Bawbag’, which unfortunately stopped some ticket holders attending, we’re confident that the madness of this year’s show will remain firmly indoors, not out. Time 7pm-10pm, The Arches, 253 Argyle Street Glasgow. Tickets £15 + booking fee www.thearches.co.uk | COMBAT ROCK / ELECTRIC ALICE / + guests Descriptions Combat Rock – the ultimate Clash tribute.

Their ability to re-create Clapton’s electrifying stage performances, really caught the audience’s imagination. In guitar/vocalist Mike Hall, the band possesses a front man who not only looks like Eric, he sings and plays guitar like him too! www.classic-clapton.com WHITE CHINA: Mundell Music, Back Stage, The Green Hotel, 2 Muirs, Kinross, Perthshire.

ST BOSWELLS LIVE! : Bread & Jam Open Mic. Something new for St Boswells Live! We have had continued calls for jam sessions and open mics, but the big hall can be a bit scary, especially when there are lots of people watching and even milling about at the end. With this in mind, and with the help of St Boswells Cricket Club, we are introducing Bread & Jam, a terrible pun on a simple concept. This is how it works: From 8pm, turn up at the Cricket Club (just round the back of the Buccleuch Arms Hotel) with your instrument, voice or just a willingness to listen and enjoy the music. Feel free to bring an amplifier if you need one, but the room is small enough to be acoustic. If you feel an urge, and there is no one else doing it, play your instrument, sing your song, tell your story or whatever you want to do. We encourage people to join in, but if you want to do it alone then just ask. In the meantime, get drinks from the Cricket Club bar, listen to other people, and enjoy the soup and bread we’ve laid on (that’s where the “bread” bit comes from). That’s it. Donations to pay for the food, and keep St Boswells Live! running are welcome, but there’s no obligation. Oh, and if you’re planning on coming then drop us a note, just so we get an idea of numbers for food. in St Boswells Cricket Club from 8pm. www.stboswellslive.com RESTON CONCERT BAND: Village Hall, Cockburnspath. Time: 7:00pm. Phone: 01368 830482 Price: £5.00 8 DECEMBER THE KAZMIRANDA ACOUSTIC MUSIC CAFE WINTER BLUES FESTIVAL: At Berwick-upon-Tweed's new laid-back acoustic music café at 83c Marygate (TD15 1BA) above The Music Gallery.

Don't be misled by the name The Scottish Soulful Weekender, yes we play a lot of soul music in some of the rooms but we also cater for soulful and jackin' house music lov-ers in the Pressure Point and nu disko, techy vibes and edits in the Blue Room with everything else in between. www.scottishsoulfulweekender.co.uk Carrying Stream Festival Edinburgh November 6-13 The 12th annual autumn music fes-tival by The Edinburgh Folk Club who meet every Wednesday at 8pm in the Pleasance Cabaret Bar www.edinburghfolkclub.co.uk House Folk Scottish Music Festival Kinlochard November 7-8 Now in its sixth year the House Folk Scottish Music Festival brings you two nights of Scottish music per-formed by top artists in a highly un-usual and intimate venue. The con-certs take place every year in au-tumn in the village of Kinlochard situated in the Heart of the Tros-sachs. The concerts offer an expo of bagpipe, accordion, strings, fiddle, vocals and flute music fusing tradi-tional and contemporary Scottish styles that have influenced the mu-sic scene around the globe. Each night differs from the other but both include a blend of great music for everyone with a mix of folk and tra-ditional styles! www.scottishmusicfestival.co.uk

Carlisle Blues & Rock Festival Carlisle November 8-10 The highly acclaimed Carlisle Blues Festival celebrated five incredibly exciting and successful years with a weekend event in November 2011 which many regarded as the best UK blues festival of the year. 2012 even surpassed that cementing the event as one of the top three of its kind in the country. The key to the success of the Car-lisle Blues & Rock Festival has al-ways been the consistent strength of the line up and its refusal to be restricted within a genre. It doesn’t guarantee to please all of the peo-ple all of the time but it does prom-ise to please the vast majority of the audience for the most part of the time. Whatever happens the Carlisle festi-val in 2013 promises another feast of the very best in real live music. Would you want to miss out? http://carlislebluesfestival.com/ Kinross-shire Music Festival Kinross-shire November 14-17+22-24 Kinross-shire Local Events Organi-sation (KLEO) is delighted to an-nounce that Ricky Ross will perform at the Kinross-shire Music Festival which will take place over two weekends (14-17 Nov and 22-24 Nov) in Kinross and Milnathort.

Dannsa is happy to announce the return of the very

successful weekend festival of tradi-tional dance but this time with an international twist.

But no other instrument can compare with the piano for the power it gives the individual player to create a whole many-voiced world of colours, lines, arguments, textures – and emotions. Few other instruments have proven them-selves as multifaceted and versatile as this astounding creation of wood, metal, wire, felt and lacquer. That is why in November, we celebrate The Piano. www.glasgowmusic.co.uk Fiddle 2013 Edinburgh November 22-24 The Scots Fiddle Festival seeks to sustain and promote Scottish fiddle tradition and idioms, by providing a platform for performance, educa-tion, and participation. A weekend of concerts, recitals, workshops, talks and exhibitions is held on an annual basis highlighting regional Scottish fiddle styles and intercul-tural connections. www.scotsfiddlefestival.com St Andrews Festival St Andrews November 30 Celebrating St Andrews Day in St Andrews is like celebrating St Pat-rick’s Day in Dublin!
