Phil Lee and Mike Cullison, two of the coolest Nashville Cats will be touring the Highlands with The Medicine Show over the next few weeks.

The Coffee Shop Sessions move from The Strathpeffer Coffee Shop to The Dingwall Greenhouse Coffee Shop (Pew we don’t have to change the name)

The Highland Hot Club Blue Note Nite, goes Green at the Greenhouse too.

Host of The Coffee Shop Sessions, Rock/Blues Guitarist, Song Writer, Singer and Photographer Matt Sillars will be opening for Mike Cullison when The Medicine Show relocates to The Greenhouse in Dingwall on 16th Jan. His Coffee Shop Open Mic Session starts up after its winter break at the same venue on February 4th, and will continue every 2 weeks after that until further notice.

Matt was part of The Belladrum Festival Coffee Shop Blues Revue this year. He said: “It will be great to open for Mike, and to get a feel for the new venue.” Matt is inviting the Belladrum Blues Revue to open up his first Coffee Shop Sessions of the new year in its new Coffee Shop home.

Phil Lee, who stormed Belladrum in 2009, plays The Coffee Shop at The Greenhouse, Dingwall on the 30th, and will be supported by virtuoso Gypsy Jazz Guitarist Steve McKeand, front man and back bone of Django Style Gypsy Jazz Quartet The Highland Hot Club, www.myspace.com/highlandhotclub, who have recently released a debut album. Tonight he will step out from the confine of the band with nothing more than his guitar and a wish to sing a set of his own songs.

However, Highland music fans also get a chance to see the band as they start up a Ross-shire branch of their popular Blue Note Nite at The Greenhouse. Steve said: “We were planning the Blue Note Nite’s for The Coffee Shop in Strathpeffer when we were told it would have to close in the evenings for refurb in the new year, so am delighted to follow the Coffee Shop Sessions to The Greenhouse, with Rob and Matt”.
