WELCOME to the latest eNews update – a different look this month as we've decided to try out the Mailchimp service. Dave's busy with preparations for a new album to be released by Dixiefrog early in 2012 – he's recording at Sonic Pump in Helsinki with some special guest musicians in August and back home at Chem19 in September.

There's still time to support Dave by voting for Got Me Electric in the best video section of the Scottish New Music Awards...you can vote here. And Devil's Left Hand and Cotton on my Back – have both made it to the final nomination shortlist in the British Blues Awards' best original blues songcategory. Vote here to take 'em all the way! Please remember to validate your vote by clicking on the link in the email you get after casting your vote.

You can catch some exclusive on Dave's free weekly video podcast on iTunes – you can check it out and subscribe for free here. The latest video has three live tracks from Dave's unplugged show at Bank Street Gallery, Kirriemuir where he made his public banjo debut and was joined by his Radiotones' colleague Jim Harcus on harp for a few tunes.
