A few days ago, Facebook allowed people to create their own facebook address (e.g. for business cards etc…) Myspace made this an integral part of their business model, and it was always a bit annoying that I didn't really know how to link people to my facebook profile. Well, now I can. And as the profile pic suggests, I'm happy about that. (that's my wife, by the way. She's happy too.)

It's pronounced "Show-na"…Itinerant musician, composer, fiddler, singer…Seonaid Aitken has been gigging with the Jiggers Ceilidh Band for a number of years. Her musical pedigree is varied and significant, crossing genres and continents.

Seonaid has performed throughout the world as the lead with the International touring dancing violin show Barrage , as a singer and Irish fiddler at Tokyo DisneySEA , Japan, and she regularly plays as a classical violinist with the Scottish Opera .

 She has over 10 years of experience as a professional recording artist
(violin, fiddle, vocals and arrangement) and has recently finished her
debut album entitled 'Souvenir' which combines all of her musical
talents.

I've heard her album, and it's great. Excellent songs and really nice folk recordings interspersed with some of her other performance pieces, covers and instrumentals. Definitely worth buying, in my opinion.

If you're trying to sell something, advertisers tell you to include a clear call to action. I'm not taking a percentage or anything, but I'll give a clear call to action all the same. Are you ready? Here it comes…
