SATURDAY’S SCOTTISH SONG : #208 : MIAOUX MIAOUX

Here’s the thing. I had no idea that the talent behind today’s featured act wasn’t Scottish……but given that I’ve always thought he was….and that’s he’s been part of the scene up here for so long……AND….that the track I’ve selected is sooooooo good……he’s in.

Edited from wiki:-
