Subject: RE: Colonsay Folk Festival From: GUEST,DannyC Date: 30 Mar 09 - 08:37 PM Thanks for the link Rob. I read the delightful Festival overview to my Kentucky Highland spouse, Beverly Buchanan, and then turned hopefully towards her in search of a sign that she'd fund the travel, lodging, meals, etc. on my behalf. Her only remark was: "If I go over there, I'll never come back." So, as you see, I've got a bit of work ahead of me. Thanks again for posting the information. I'll send Mrs. Thomson the exact change in the case I manage to sell the concept here @ home. |

Subject: RE: Colonsay Folk Festival From: GUEST,Rob the Roadie Date: 27 Apr 09 - 07:09 AM Just printed off the provisional programme for Clonsay which I got by E-mail. Looks as though it is going to be a very busy fun packed festival. Hope I have the stamina. I was even hoping to walk/run the McFees but that might be asking a bit too much. |

I know you dont mind Went to the Isle of Muck for few days to celebrate our 15th wedding anniversary. Angie entertained with some songs in glorious weather on the Islands open day June 7th. If you like islands you wil like Muck. Pity it does not have a festival. Population is only about 40. |
