Hooray! The Oban Inn it is then!!! Thank you all so much for looking around for me, I was beginning to think I was going really mad.It's so easy to find local sessions in Ireland on the web - they're everywhere & the best ones are usually hidden in the fold of a mountain. Strange that the towns have turned up to be the best in Scotland.
The tourist office will be my next try!
Someone sent me a web-address of www.strathspeyinmay.com for 'a festival, with a strong emphasis on the playing and learning of traditional music, held annually in Grantown-on-Spey' which is on in a couple of weeks time, but is a bit far for me to go this year. May be of interest to other cats! Thank you all very, very much - I'm getting excited about going up there now! Be well!
