Was at the Innerleithen Festival a fewyears back and headline act was Dougie mclean, olks even had the chance to win a 20 min spot to support him at his concert.Angie Wright ,my wife tried but failed,only just as it we were told. After the concert which we attended as punters everyone (well almost went to the local hotel for a session, great fun was had by all and after about an hour Dougie turned up and we let him join in. At Orkney a room was set up for singers and another for tunes and people switched from one to another through the night (we left at 4.00am) we sat singing with most of the headliners including the Mcalmans. At Chester Fest we sat singing in the pub with Show of Hands in one year and Last nights fun on another. A simmilar session went on till the early hours with the acts at the Girvan festival when Angie was part of Taggart and Wright and trying to get bookings as unknowns. So if you want to join in on a session come over here. o UK.
