Dylan Cairns is originally from Aberystwyth in Wales, and has been an active member of the Glasgow session scene. He too, is in his final year of studies and is currently working on his debut album. Tonight he accompanied John on the acoustic guitar. The Merry Masons' evening was a huge success and the Deacon would like to express his thanks to everyone involved in making it such a good social event especially Past Deacon Iain Smith for arranging this entertainment. |
