I was recently introduced to this Scottish band by @JeanD99 He shared this particular song on Twitter and I fell in love with this new sound. It’s not what you would expect to come out of Scotland! I have since listened to more of their music via their website and You Tube. What do you think?
This is the first of a new category to https://inform.quest/_traveltips. It came about from the sharing of international music with some of my favourite travel mates on Twitter. Some of the music I have been exposed to is simply marvellous and here is a great place for me to share it with others and have it stored for future enjoyment by myself!
Music has a great way to provoke memories of times, experiences and places. I have a collection of music I discovered whilst travelling and of course, when I play it, it immediately takes me back to those travel destinations.
Mustafa Sandal was and still is, a music pop star during the time I visited Turkey alone, backpacking. Every bus, taxi, cafe, restaurant and pension I was in, was playing him (and Kylie Minogue!). I just had to return with his CD, for I knew in the future, listening to it would recapture those solo backpacking days, sitting on crowded, smoke filled buses!!

Golgede Ayni, Mustafa Sandal – the CD I came home with!
Memphis is a large city located in the state of Tennessee in the U.S.A. It is situated on the banks of the Mississippi River and is considered by many to be the true capital of the Mississippi River delta.
Memphis was also the home town for Elvis Presley. Here he recorded his first music at the Memphis Recording Service, also known as Sun Studio. This has given Memphis the name of being the home of Rock ‘n’ Roll and it already held the title of the birthplace of ‘The Blues’. Elvis Presley passed away 16 August 1977 and is buried within his home grounds of ‘Graceland’.
Graceland is a grand, white column mansion build back in 1939. It covers more than 13 acres of manicured gardens. Graceland was opened to the public on June 7, 1982. No trip to Memphis would be complete without a visit to ‘Graceland’.
