Edinburgh-based guitarist Neil Warden has released a CD revisiting the blues and Americana styles that he played as the long-serving foil for the late Scottish blues singer Tam White, pictured. Warden, who has also worked with former Bad Company bassist Boz Burrell, Stone the Crows singer Maggie Bell, cabaret artists Peter Straker and Camille O’Sullivan and jazz musicians including Brian Kellock and John Burgess, recorded Adventures in Weissenborn Land with singer-harmonica player Gary Martin and flautist Dave Heath, with arranger Stuart Mitchell adding atmospheric soundscapes. The CD is available through iTunes, cdbaby and bandcamp.

Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
