Thread Name: Who would you cruise with?
Subject: RE: Who would you cruise with?
I believe Tom Paxton has done some, including up the Alaskan coast, and Archie Fisher in the Caribbean.
There are always good musicians on the National Trust for Scotland ones. I went on one about 1999, and we had Anne Lorne Gillies, focussing on the songs of St Kilda, 2 members of the former "Scotland the What", Eddie McGuire (flute) and Rhona Mackay (concert harp), and Paul Anderson (fiddle) as well as a piper, and music for ceilidh dancing. In more recent times, they have had people like Sheena Wellington and Siobhan Miller.
Of course, that's the more expensive way to do it.
We always have "musical cruises" on the Union Canal as part of Linlithgow Folk Festival, two one hour trips with local duo, Cockleroy. And I have been on a couple of other Union Canal trips where we ourselves brought our own food, drink, instruments and songs. Other such trips take place on Loch Lomond and the River Forth.
