He's playing live tonight up in Wick, Scotland.
If you can make it for 7:30pm, at the Mackay's Hotel, you will get to see him.

It's a 5-hour drive from here.
I'll show that video to my boss, and I'm sure he'll let me leave work early.

Spare yourself all that driving and fly from Aberdeen instead

Meh... It's not in me to punch down at someone doing the work and putting themself out there to give it an honest go without purposely being irritating or ironic about it.
He'd do fine playing an instrument in the background for a band that does traditional tunes in a pub.

Honestly, good luck to him.
He's doing what he clearly loves, there's obviously an audience for it and anyone who doesn't like nasal, tuneless folk singing doesn't have to listen.

Hold on
You've heard folk singing that isn't nasal and tuneless?

Most successful folk musicians are musically gifted in ways that Bob Dylan is not.

He's got a killer set list: stevensinclair.co.uk/set-list.php Must have just about all the bases covered for your average function with that lot. Not my sort of music, but now I can't stop humming "Take Me Back to Caithness", dammit. Good luck Steven!

That set list is too long.

Not if he rattles through each song in 20 seconds.
Maybe he does loads of amphetamine before each performance.

His online lessons are tempting
but it's going to be tricky as he uses Skype.
1995 would like its website back

Steven also includes Scottish Dance's in his set and plays for sets such as Gay Gordon's, Canadian Barn Dance's, Strip the Willow's, Eightsome Reel's and Waltzes etc. This kind of music is popular at Wedding's etc.
It is grammatically possible (however unlikely) that the apostrophes are correct and the commas are wrong:
Gay Gordon's Canadian Barn, Dance's Strip (e.g. Charles), the Willow's Eightsome, Reel's "and Waltzes etc."

Not if you know anything about Scottish Country Dancing.
We used to get that shit at school.

Yes, that's the only issue with my theory.
