News update from Allister MacGillivray, musical director (and father of 1/2 of The Cottars)...I asked his approval of my message board for The Cottars; if the group appeared in John McDermott's PBS special "A Time To Remember"; and for upcoming bookings.
He confirmed that The Cottars are performing in the 18th Annual Int'l Folk Alliance Conference in Austin Texas next weekend. Allister said the quartet are back in school until they rejoin The Chieftains' tour in March.
Allister had a look at my newlt-created message board for the Cottars and said that Keith would be proud.
The Cottars do a small cameo in the “Time To Remember” video, Allister said. John McDermott had just discovered them and fit them in at the last moment. He sings “Song For The Mira” (written by Allister and was a hit for Anne Murray) in the show and does a very fine job on it.
Allister has been busy booking The Cottars in various folk clubs for late in the year.
Roger, I'll try and persuade The Cottars to visit the UK!
