We have been swamped with new music/CD's for Highlander Radio! Over the past 2 weeks we have added some 15+ new CD's to the broadcast. I won't mention all of them just yet (as I am still recuperating) but I had to mentioned that we received 3 CD's from the Wicked Tinkers! This group is awesome! - you just have to request some of their songs. I believe someone here in the forum suggested them, so we wrote last week and received their CD's today!

WOOOOOOOOOOHOOOOOOOOOOOOO! I log in and who do I hear? My GUYS! Tinkers doing the 'odd set'!! Did I not tell you? Thanks Paul, you have made my whole day in one song!! You are the BEST!!!!!!
Oh man Skootz! I'm sorry, just getting back to my old self. Well thanks for the big smooch. Big smooches always make ya feel better
Was it you that recommended the Wicked Tinkers? Thank you very much - they are my new favorite group. Everyone, keep the recommendations coming in.
We wrote directly to the Wicked Tinkers (something so far we have shyed away from) and they provided us with 3 of their CD's. So if we get more recommendations we shall do the same.
Wow to just send 3 cd, just because, you told them they were requisted. I guess the Tinkers aren't so Wicked after all. The rate A1 alright in my book.
If you think the Tinkers are great on CD, you should see them in person. I've been watching them at the San Diego Scottish Highland Games for years, and they never fail to provide a great show. They perform all over the west coast of the U.S. Check out their performance schedule at Wicked Tinkers.
WHOO HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! The Wicked Tinkers are my favorite band! I have two of their CDs! I am going to see them LIVE next month at the Scottish Highland games up in northern Arizona! I cannot wait! Thank you, thank you Paul! A big smoooooooooooch to you!
If you enjoy their recorded music --- you will be blown away by their live performances. They are in Flagstaff July 17 for the Highland Festival. If you cannot go to that one -- you need to find them soon. You will be amazed!

For those of you fans of the Wicked Tinkers, here is an update on them. Apparently, they have lost Wayne who plays the Irish bronze horn. So they are in the process of finding a new band member. Here is their website with the news and an update on their tour schedule! I hope to see them in July!
WOO HOO! I saw these guys perform LIVE this past weekend at the Arizona Celtic festival! Their recordings just doesn't do them justice. You HAVE to see them live! They are just awesome and very personable, generous and kind to their fans. They haven't officially replaced Wayne. Right now they are just going to rotate between three didgeridoo players for awhile.
Also, their new CD was just released today.........Whiskey Supper! Yay! I hope Highlander radio gets it.
Here are some pics from the concert that I took. Hope you enjoy!
I guess I better listen up more for the Tinkers since Celticrose talks about them so much! Last time I was at Flag's Games, I missed them because I was working at the "Oatmeal Toss" but I remember all the young women heading over to their stage!
I finally got the new Wicked Tinkers CD, "Whisky Supper" all autographed by the guys themselves! I am very well pleased with the new CD. It is a live album and some songs are old and some are new.
I have a very high regard for Aaron as I think he is probably one of the best pipers around. They're still looking for a didgeridoo (sp?) player and using temp guys right now. And of course, those drummers are some of the best in the business too! Love watching Keith play!
Hey Dogshirt! So glad you got to see the WT live! I always really loved their music...discovered it on here as a matter of fact. But when I saw them live, that was a whole total ball game! Great to have a fellow WT fan! Did you get a chance to see the photos I took of them from my last event with them? They are the absolute nicest guys!
