Duncan Chisolm picks up one of six Herald Angels, reports Keith Bruce
Chisholm had brought his show, which combines original video of Scotland and interviews with traditional musicians with live music from his trio, to the Acoustic Music Centre at St Brides for the Fringe. On Friday, however, he was playing on Black Isle, in a session that did not end until 5.30am, which left him just time to get to Inverness for the journey south. He was presented with an Angel by Les Dennis, who has been appearing in the Assembly Rooms in Tony Staveacre's play Jigsy, set backstage in a north of England working-men's club, which looks back over the career of a stand-up comic; and Karen Tighe, sponsorship manager for the Bank of Scotland, in her first post-Olympics duty.
