However very quickly reality kicked in and the committee realised we were left with the problem, how to beat it. We decided that we were going to give it a good try and pulled out all the stops securing another varied and impressive line up which, we hope over the course of the weekend, will cover all styles of music, offering something for everyone. Budget has been tight again this year so once more we are indebted to local firms and businesses that have provided us with sponsorship and supported us both financially and in kind. Returning to join fans will be a TV crew from BBC ALBA who will be recording the event and capturing the atmosphere of the weekend to be broadcast later in the year. I extend a warm welcome to all you visitors joining us for the first time and a big thanks to all the regulars who turn up and support us each year. Special thanks to all the committee and our behind the scene helpers who work hard not only over the course of the weekend but also all year round planning and arranging such an event. Happy Easter and have a great weekend. Christine Gray Chairperson NNCCMF ABS Consulting (UK) are pleased to support the MacGregor Industrial Northern Nashville Caithness Supplies Ltd.

Gail has been described as one of the most important and influential female singer/ songwriters to have been involved in country music in the last twenty years. She was the first female record producer in country music and is cited by many of today's pop and country divas as their role model. 'The person who kicked open so many of the closed doors on music row'. Though often best known for her pioneering production work, Gail is also a gifted vocalist and prolific songwriter. Her compositions are some of today's country radio standards and been recorded around the world by internationally renowned artistes. As a singer Gail's voice has earned her numerous nominations from the CMA as well as the coveted award from the D.J's of America for Best Female Vocalist. One of the few artists to have received a standing ovation in the Grand Ole Opry, Gail is a consummate performer who has played venues from the Ryman Auditorium to the Royal Concert Hall along with John Prine. Gail began life in Oklahoma, moving at the age of 5, to Washington State, following her graduation she went to L.A. and after a brief career in jazz her initial interest in record production began. Gail settled in Nashville in 1975; where she released her debut album in 1978 going on to produce her own records the following year. In 1985 Gail signed with RCA records forming a country rock band before returning to a solo career in 1988, later forming her own label Little Chickadee GailGail Productions. Gail is a genuinely sincere person, we met up with her a few years ago when we were in Nashville and she kindly met and arranged for us to go back stage at the DaviesDavies Grand Ole Opry,and used her influence to introduce us to George Jones. --- Yes Gail we owe you one --- MEIKLEJOHN’S TAXIS EST. 1944 THURSO 892827 EXECUTIVE TRAVEL FOR THE Buldoo Contracting NORTH OF SCOTLAND Supports the NNCCMF ORMLIE LODGE, ORMLIE ROAD THURSO, KW14 7DP Fencing, Land Drainage, Tel: 01847 896888 • Fax: 01847 896851 Site Clearance & Foundations E-Mail: [email protected] Contact Graeme on 0770 8075743 Born in 1943 this guy may be a veteran in the business but if you ask any number of country singers who their hero is and a large number will respond Gene Watson. This masterful country stylist from Houston, Texas has been thrilling audiences for more than 30 years. The depth of emotion in his singing, his brilliant phrasing, his jaw-dropping range and the power in the lyrics he chooses are all factors in the awe he inspires in both fans and his musical peers. His stunning voice captivates audiences and keeps his fans coming back again and again. Gene Watson's tally of 75 charted titles, 23 top-10 hits and six number-one records has led to membership in the Texas Country Music Hall of Fame. Radio listeners are still transfixed whenever classics likeFarewell Party , Fourteen Carat Mindor Love in the Hot Afternoon are played. At an age when most people are contemplating retirement, Gene Watson is still making some of the greatest records of his life, receiving such accolades as Album of the Yearand even Album of the Decade. On his 2009 album releaseA Taste of the Truth , Gene Watson & Rhonda Vincent scored a no 1 for their single Staying Together . Of the album gene states “I'm working harder to be better each song is very personal and has a special meaning to me” Watching Gene perform he has the skills to give a powerful vocal performance and drain the emotion from his selected material without effort. Gene, affectionately known as The Singers Singer, says “I'm really looking forward to performing at the Northern Nashville Country Music Festival. We have been trying for a number of years to make it to Scotland as there are so many great fans there and I know they are fans of the real thing---traditional country music---I'm very honored to be invited to this wonderful festival”.
