Tony McManus is back in Scotland for a while, and tonight's Travelling 
Folk programme on Radio Scotland, hosted by Karine Polwart in Archie 
Fisher's absence, features Tony in a live session:

On Saturday November 11th, Tony has an afternoon small group guitar 
workshop, with an evening gig to follow, both at The Cobbles Inn, 
Bowmont Street, Kelso (in the heart of the town, just off the main 
square). This gig and workshop form part of a mini-fest, Friday night 
featuring Irish singer, songwriter and zouk player Jimmy Crowley from 
Cork; both nights featuring open mics before the guest artist, and bar 
sessions afterwards.

A PDF leaflet giving all the details can be downloaded:

It includes info on overnight accommodation. The overall price of £40 
includes a Saturday morning guitar 'meet' and sandwiches at lunchtime, 
the cost without this is simply the two concerts and the workshop: £8 
full, £5 concession for each concert; £20 full, £15 concession for the 
workshop. The event is underwritten by TMSA, the Scottish Traditional 
Music and Song Association, and TMSA membership (£10 annually) entitles 
concessionary rate; concessionary rate also applies to Kelso Folk & Live 
Music Club members booking in advance.
