The World’s Only Scottish Western Swing Band

Quick — name a Scottish Western Swing Band  . . .

Didn’t think so.

‘Cause there’s only one, the inimitable Stretch Dawrson and the Mending Hearts.

And they’ll be at Hyde Park Bar & Grill South on Monday, Apr 5, 7 to 9pm  for a Special Performance.

(We’ve been trading Scotsman jokes with Stretch since he first contacted us:  How do you get a Highlander onto the roof?  Tell him the drinks are on the house.)

Stretch Dawrson leads the World's Only Scottish Western Swing Band!
