Let’s put local musicians on the map! In a brand new regular feature on DGWGO we will be bringing you the latest from ‘Scott Woods’ who has started a new project in Dumfries called ‘Little Stove’. In this our first article together find out exactly what Little Stove Presents is all about…
Are you a musician or in a band and want to get your name out there? That’s what ‘Little Stove Presents’ is here for.
My name is Scott and I am a local ‘film guy’. Recently I was filming in Inverness at The Tartan Heart Festival, Belladrum. The biggest perks of filming at a music festival are of course the music and discovering new bands. Despite the typical miserable, damp weather the festival did not disappoint. Over the course of my three days there I was amazed to discover how many of the musicians performing came from Dumfries & Galloway (not to mention slightly ashamed that I hadn’t came across them before). This is why I came up with the idea of creating a platform for the musical talent that exists in this region to get their name out there. Thus, ‘Little Stove Presents…’ was born.
Based in Castle Douglas, Little Stove Presents is an online music covers channel here to promote local Scottish bands and musicians. We do this by creating videos of bands performing a special cover of a song that influences them, has personal meaning or is simply just one of their favourite tracks. We plan on getting the talented people of D&G to come along to our wee studio and showoff what they can do.
Music is a big part of my life and I have always loved hearing different musicians take on songs by different artists. I feel a cover can tell you a lot more about a musician than hearing an original track for the first time. This is precisely the reason id like to create videos for both a cover and an original song when possible.
To kick start ‘Little Stove’ I have been filming with ONR. Guitarist Michael Devereux with a number of finger style covers which will be being released to the online world weekly, leading up to Christmas. This starts with his cover of the Elton John classic, Candle in the Wind. You can hear this by following the link or liking our Little Stove Presents Facebook page by Clicking HERE.

If you like this video and want to catch Michael playing with your own eyes, ONR will be playing in December in Aberdeen, Inverness, Ullapool and Elgin.
