He is of Chinese ethnicity but was born in Fife and speaks with a broad Fife/Scottish accent which, when you first hear it is slightly surprising. He is a very good songwriter and often sings his own songs along with some very traditional Scottish music. Victoria Park House Hotel, 221 Ferry Road, Edinburgh. Doors Open - 7.30pm. Price £7.
