MEDICINE in the modern sense is perceived to be a treatment for ailment, but in the ancient sense particularly in the minds of Native Americans, medicine is all that is good in nature connecting the spirit world with the physical. The Medicine of music can be a direct connection with all it is to be human and also our best prescription for the disconnecting-ailments of our modern culture"

Earl Eugene Scruggs (January 6, 1924 – March 28, 2012)
Before Earl Banjo was an instrument that accompanied a song, that maybe added flavour and texture but was always homespun, downhome and played mainly for home entertainment and community sessions, then Earle Scruggs perfected the three finger style technique, which at a stroke made the banjo a lead instrument and loud enough to be heard beyond rhythm and fit for dances, his old…

The Medicine Show Presents Benny Gallagher @ Acoustic Strathpeffer Coffee Shop Session,
Coffee Shop Cromarty Buildings Strathpeffer Ross-shire. Scotland IV14 9dg 01997 421500. (By Dingwall) March 6th ticket £15 On sale here and from the venue only 30 available, so "Don't Be Late Don't Hesitate".
"In an intimate evening of songs and stories about his days as a Staff Writer with The Beatles Publishing Co. Apple, Legendary Singer-Songwriter Benny Gallagher will perform all of the hits he penned for McGuinness Flint and Gallagher & Lyle - songs that have since been recorded by:
Art Garfunkel, Bryan Ferry, Colin Blunstone, Donavon Frankenreiter, Don Williams, Elkie Brooks, Fairport Convention, Garth Brooks (Concert in Central Park), Judith Durham, Little Anthony and the Imperials, Mary Hopkin, Phil Everly, Ricky Nelson, Ringo Starr, Rita Coolidge, Status Quo, Simon and Garfunkel (Concert in Central Park), The Fureys, and Lemon Jelly to name but a few..... along with some great new songs from his latest Album ‘At The Edge of the Wave’
For 40 years and more, Benny Gallagher has been writing, composing, arranging and performing timeless classics. Small wonder then that, with Graham Lyle, he was one of the first songwriters to be signed by Apple Publishing. Success as an artist quickly followed when the legendary McGuinness Flint stormed the charts with When I'm Dead And Gone and Malt and Barley Blues.
Then came seven more albums and world tours with the majestic Gallagher & Lyle - by which time Benny’s reputation was cemented as one of the UK’s foremost songwriters of his generation.
