The Texas Scottish Festival happens next weekend; June 3, 4 and 5, 2005 in Arlington Texas. There will be 60,000 or so folks at this event again this year - over the two and a half days - and the music is grand celebration! I've played this festival for the last 4 or 5 years and it is always a great time. If you're near enough to come on out; PLEASE COME ON OUT!

Alex Beaton, Alisdair Fraser, Ed Miller, Brian McNeill, Brother and lots of fine local folks will be there (take a look for more).

There is more of the on-stage, mixing and make it up as you go sort a playing at this festival then most that I play - and that is a rare treat.

I hope to see a few Mudcatters this weekend .... and please say hello if you make it. My schedule is here.

The festival is held a lovely colleg campus, has lots of room for a full Scottish Games, dog/sheep demos, great vendors and kiddies area.
