Wrap Up Warm

The weather in Edinburgh doesn’t seem to improving, in fact, it seems to be getting worse!

I’ve been an avid knitter for over a year know. During this time I’ve amassed a precious collection of hand knitted scarves, all made by my own fair hand!

Each scarf is knitted on a one-by-one basis, using quality wool of various colours, shades and textures.

No two scarves are the same, however if you do purchase one, please feel free to specify any colour preference when completing your payment, or email me at:
arranarctic@hotmail.co.uk

Merry Christmas!

Ho ho ho! Merry Christmas!

As a little festive Arran Arctic treat for you, I’ve recorded a cover version of the Fleet Foxes track ‘White Winter Hymnal’.

I’m quite pleased with it. I feel like it’s my own take on the Fleet Foxes original with elements of the Birdy cover. Hear it for yourself…

To download my cover of ‘White Winter Hymnal’ for free, sign up to the Arran Arctic mailing list.

By signing up, you get access to the Fans Only area of the Arran Arctic website, which is full of exclusive downloads and rarities.

Merry Christmas, and happy listening!

Arran

 Addendum 21/01/12

The track preview has now been removed from my soundcloud profile, so you won’t be able to hear it here anymore.

You can, however, download it for free by signing up to the mailing list and using the password you’ll receive to access the Fans Only area.

 

Movember – Part 3

Movember 30th is here – part 3!!!

Believe it or not, it’s been hard to overcome my aversion to shaving in order to keep my face bristle free, thus allowing my moustache to flourish. But, 30 days later the results speak for themselves…

Movember Day 30

Movember Day 30

I’ve had so much help and support along the way, I can’t say thank you enough for helping me raise a fantastic £200 for men’s health!

Thanks to all the people, blogs and podcasts who spread the word about my efforts, and a huge thanks to everyone who sponsored me. It’s because of you that I’ve been able to raise this amount of money for a charitable cause that means a lot to me.

If you donated, you’ll all have received your “mo” song by email. I hope it serves as a suitable reward!

Musical Moustache Notes

As far as I’m aware, you can still donate should you wish to at mobro.co/arranarctic. I’ll be keeping an eye out for any late donations in order to keep track of any latecomers who are due to receive the “mo” song.

If, however, you do donate and I’m not in touch within a few days, just get in touch via the email address listed on the About page.

Thanks again everyone. It’s been wild!
