Hi Jenny - sorry to hear you're "exiled" for now. I hope your visa comes through soon. Thank you for all the nice things you've said - I can almost feel my head growing as I read it. :)

We've had a pretty good week in Aberdeen. Arthur Johnstone and Danny Coupar, aided and abetted by fiddle player Carol Anderson and her accompanying guitarist Martin McDonald were at the club last Wednesday - one of the best nights I've seen at the club. Followed by Stonehaven Festival - some great singing sessions. I saw Rob and a few other club members, but didn't get the chance to speak to them, even though Rob was sitting virtually across the table from me. Difficult to speak when people are singing in a big room without microphones.

As for YOU-TUBE - I've now downloaded 18 videos in two days - mostly my own songs, but a few traditional ones as well.
