Following the recent closure of the Lanark Accordion & Fiddle Club, Shirley and Iain Cathcart have decided to pursue the opportunity of opening a brand new club in the Lanark area and provide a platform for young and old players to continue the legacy of great Scottish music in the Clydesdale area.
At this stage they are in early discussions with venues and dates have yet to be confirmed. Their intention is to hold a gala opening night in the Spring.
