ONE OF Argyll’s hottest young trad bands has a treat in store for fans in the new year.
Heron Valley in their natural environment – on the festival stage – featuring, left to right, Nick Hamilton, Euan McNab, Arlene Mackechnie, lead singer Abigail Pryde, Alex Mackechnie and Callum Cronin.
Festival favourites Heron Valley are hard at work recording a much-anticipated debut album, hot on the heels of releasing a popular online video shot on location in the hills above the Rest and be Thankful. Multi-talented instrumentalist Alex Mackechnie from Strachur – normally to be seen playing the Heron Valley fiddle – said it had been a long time coming. He continued: ‘We are constantly asked if we have CDs for sale at all of the festivals we play in the summer months.’
