Kinrick

The latest folk music phenomenon to come out of the 'glorious, wonderful' Kingdom of Fife. Alex, Dave and John all now live in the Kingdom, although Alex and John are imports from Edinburgh, Dave being the only true 'Fifer'. The three have a common love of music and instruments as their respective wives will no doubt confirm.

Pete Abbott

Pete was part of the John Wright Band and comes highly recommended by the late John Wright who called him ìa singer-songwriter of great class.î

Here a few other accolades:

"Pete Abbott writes a truly beautiful ballad. That ability to touch the corners of the mind and soul that others cannot is all too rare these days." (Anthony John Clarke)

"Pete is one of those rare artists who can touch an audience with his honesty and sensitivity. Combine this with his intelligent and precise guitar style and you have a combination not often found."
(Ken Nicol)
