Ross Memorial

On Saturday the 2nd of January 2010 Scotland lost one of her favourite sons, our great friend and brother David R. Ross was taken from us.

David's passion for his country, infectious sense of humour and loveable personality made him one life's good guys.  He achieved so much in his short time on this earth, some of his most memorable being the wealth of books he wrote and his incredible walk to London in 2005 to give Sir William Wallace a Christian burial and to bring his spirit home, home to Scotland.

We will all miss him so much but will strive to carry on his relentless work for Scotland and in doing so we shall honour his name.

Rest in peace, dear friend - David R. Ross 28-02-58 to 02-01-2010.

We realise that David touched a great many of you in some way or another, so we wanted to give you a place to leave your thoughts and stories of how the big man made an impact on your lives.

To that end we have set up a book of remembrance so that you can leave your thoughts, stories and memories of this great man.

COLIN GRANT-ADAMS   -  Scottish Balladeer

Thistledown Tinkers is a Celtic guitar and fiddle duo presenting traditional Scottish and Irish music.

Cutthroat Shamrock of Sevier Co., Tennessee

      In the spring of 2003 we played our first show on Saint Patrick's day in a little bar in Gatlinburg.  Taking the sounds we grew up with and putting an Appalachian twist to them, we have developed our own sound; a mix of punk rock, folk, and traditional Irish pub songs.
        Don't be confused by our style (or lack there of) we are some of the nicest fellas you will ever meet. we should have probably written our songs with electric instruments but the raw power of acoustic means we can play anywhere. we have played many events such as the Knoxville brewers jam at the worlds fair park, the WDVX blue plate special, hottfest, the blue plum festival and a multitude of others. We plan to take this sound to the ends of the earth.

    "If punk rock and bluegrass walked into an Irish pub and got kidnapped by pirates."
