SHARON King and the Reckless Angels now have Government approval – and it’s official.
Jim Mather, Scottish Minister for Enterprise, Energy and Tourism, met the band in Glenuig recently while on their recent West Coast tour.
And the MP for Argyll and Bute told them: "You really are a national treasure....you and Chopin are my favourites for listening.”
Sharon King (songwriting, guitar and vocals), Daisy Costello ( cello and backing vocals), Luke Plumb (mandolin) and Jenni Hopwood (backing vocals) appear at the Acoustic Music Centre at St Bride’s on Saturday, August 21 (8pm).
Sharon said: “Jim met us recently and we thank him for the quote.
“He is very keen to promote us abroad as a modern face of the contemporary Scottish music scene and took away a load of postcards and business cards with him to take to America. All very exciting.
“We are in the back room at St Bride’s, which is a lovely, wee intimate venue, seating only 50.
“We would love to see you there and hope, during the busy Festival period, you can take the time to support us.”
