It's not all bad news. I've been well received up in Edinburgh, where I am going occasionally for workshops. The music pubs there have been really welcoming. I have played along with gentle percussion in a couple of them and was invited to tell a story in another. The one where I told a story was a fabulous experience - I was recognised and invited to tell a story. The audience were really attentive - they hung on every word - they were so longing to hear a story! Playing along quietly with an experienced ceilidh band, so polite and mature, was wonderful too. Well done Edinburgh!!!
