In the News

Brian, his wife Kim, and Kim's dad Ken were interviewed as they surveyed the damage done to their homes by the Witch Creek fire. Check out the ingenious preventative measure that Kim and Brian took before they evacuated... :

Back in the Saddle

What a week! A few of the band members capped it off with a rousing night at R. O'Sullivan's Irish Pub in Escondido. Paul and Brian play there every Sunday night as the Clachan Boys, and this time they were joined by Heloise with her beautiful harmonies. It was a fantastic evening with lots of music, laughter, and audience participation. Just what the doctor ordered!

Now that things are beginning to return to normal for our band members and for Southern California, we thought this might be a good time to repost this:

THE NEW CD IS AVAILABLE NOW!!!

Yes, Highland Way: Live in San Diego is hot off the presses and a must-have for all fans of Scottish/Irish/Celtic music. Recorded at the 2005 San Diego Scottish Highland Games in Vista, CA this CD makes you feel like you're right in the thick of all the excitement of an honest-to-goodness Highland Way concert. Be sure to TURN UP THE VOLUME to get the full effect!

Good News

We have some good news! Brian's house has survived!! There is damage to outdoor steps and the garage door and other exterior items, but the main house is standing. Definitely lots of clean up and repair to be done here... BUT we are all very thankful that the house has not been destroyed as previously thought. We are very grateful to the brave men and women who are working so hard to save as many homes as they can wherever the fires are.

Thank you to everyone who has offered help and sent up good thoughts and prayers for a positive outcome to this situation. Your thoughtfulness is very much appreciated!

Hoping that others will also have good news when they are allowed to return to their homes, and sending up lots of good thoughts for the emergency personnel who are still working so very hard to fight the flames throughout southern California.
