Mr Lemon , armed with a bit of info from me, checked-out a few Scottish sessions & clubs. He was told that sesions in Keith and the Beaufort, Inverness are closed. Lossiemouth, Beach bar, Tues is current. Clachnaharry Inn, Clachnaharry, Inverness Thur is running and he joined a sesson in the Seaforth Hotel, Grantown on Spey Fri which hopefully will become regular as the instigator is a local doctor, Irish and plays Uillean pipes, so expect lots of Irish music. He met a Gaelic (should that be Gallic?) speaking fiddler - Keith Scammell - who has founded a Trad Scottish music charity called Ceol Beo (can't do accented alpha yet) and will run a 1st Sun session in the Thistle Inn, Celt St, Inverness 3-6pm. His tel no is 01463 223354. Mr Lemon did observe that attendances were a little light, quality not quantity.
