Been there, done that, and definitely going next year!!
Forgot to get the T shirt!!!!

But did get the poster signed by most of the artists.

One of the best festivals I have been to in a long time.

Oh yes and just visiting the island is something else!

Well after three weeks its about time this got another airing.
I know you dont mind

Went to the Isle of Muck for few days to celebrate our 15th wedding anniversary.
Angie entertained with some songs in glorious weather on the Islands open day June 7th.
If you like islands you wil like Muck.
Pity it does not have a festival.
Population is only about 40.

must be time to refresh this again.
The warm weather must be putting people in the mood to go to an island paradise and a folk festival so....

I have heard that there will be some sessions before         
and probably after the Fest.
Depending on stamina......

Just printed off the provisional programme for Clonsay which I got by E-mail.
Looks as though it is going to be a very busy fun packed festival. Hope I have the stamina.

I was even hoping to walk/run the McFees but that might be asking a bit too much.

The more the merrier. Of course if you are there for a week Im sure you will find there is a lot more things going on as well.

Looks interesting and we might try and get there if I'm not going to be away for work at that time.

Thanks for the link Rob.

I read the delightful Festival overview to my Kentucky Highland spouse, Beverly Buchanan, and then turned hopefully towards her in search of a sign that she'd fund the travel, lodging, meals, etc. on my behalf.

Her only remark was: "If I go over there, I'll never come back." So, as you see, I've got a bit of work ahead of me.

Thanks again for posting the information. I'll send Mrs. Thomson the exact change in the case I manage to sell the concept here @ home.
