Thanks - good advice! I am thinking up some good songs where people can join in on the choruses - I was told that they like that at Chapleton too so I'm just going to assume that would be the case at all the clubs. And yes, Steven, I've tried calling Tom at the Star and e-mailing him but he never answers the phone, I always get the answering machine and although I've left messages I can't reasonably expect him to call me back in the US and he doesn't answer the e-mails. He probably is innundated with performers looking for gigs. That was a great workshop with John Moran but I don't think I'll attempt "Jock o'the Side" or "Jamie Telfer" I like "big" ballads but these are enormous! I'm really looking forward to this tour - it will give me a chance to see a lot of Scotland and meet lots of other folkies.
