Very fond memories of their visit to the Thurso Folk Festival in the early 1970's -- great energy and professionalism and a lot of smiles in the audience. And then Vera hit us with a very stripped-down version of 'The Testimony of Patience Kershaw' (mimimal accordion accompaniment) and there was that very rare moment of stunned silence at the end, followed by a collective gasp and then astonished applause.

Wish it weren't so far away from Glasgow!
