News from the Quiggs
(updated 05/03/21)
We managed through February and now it's March and spring is hopefully around the corner... We've certainly had a few nice sunny days here in Saltcoats but I believe there's an old saying that if March comes in like a lamb it goes out like a lion! So we'll brace ourselves for that one ;-)
We are obviously not able to travel and have had to cancel our gigs in Denmark in February and April is looking out of the question too but we hope to reschedule them for later in the year or 2022.
The Quiggs' bandcamp page is doing well and we're getting a few visitors, it would be great if you could have a look and if you like follow us and download our music (it is worth mentioning that if you like to download your music and support the artists in the best way possible we would ask you to use bandcamp) We will continue to add to the list of albums and tracks available for download on bandcamp so if you would like to be notified just click this link to follow us.
It has been very encouraging to see the great response to the new Quiggs CD "Wings of Gold" and that it's getting airplay on BBC Radio Scotland and lots of local radio stations and many enthusiastic comments from those who have already bought it.
The CD is available to buy through the link PayPal.me/quiggsfolkduo The CD is £10 in the Uk and £13.50 for the rest of the world (postage included.)
As we don't have a shop on this page we will be selling all available CDs through the PayPal.Me link. In the 'add a note' section you can let us know the name of the CD you're buying and the address you would like us to send it to. If you don't have a paypal account and would like a CD, send us an email and we'll sort out another payment option. If you're in Denmark there's the option of using MobilePay to this phone nr 26170643 price £130 kr.
