Kroner rate is pretty good at the moment, about £100 to dkk1000. If anyone wants to go and needs coins, I've got about £8 worth of kroner going spare here... LTS |

Line up: - Tuesday 21st August - The McCalmans - Wednesday 22nd - Archie Fisher; Adam McNaughton; Arthur Johnstone and Heather Heywood. - Thursday 23rd August - Kent DuChane; Johnny Silvo & Fraser Spiers; Eddie Walker. - Friday 24th August - The Fureys and Davey Arthur - Saturday 25th August - Surprise - Sunday 26th - Survivors Session & Final Final Survivors Session Wouldn't miss it for the world. |

What a lineup. And Teribus, thanks for that tip, Irvine looks like a wonderful time as well. I really like the less-is-more approach to programming, not to mention the concepts of "Survivors Session & Final Final Survivors Session" Regards W-O |

I am currently working in Stavanger and one of the guests at Irvine will be the band who play in the Stavanger Irish pub. They're great fun, multinational and damn good musiicians and singers too.. They're also bringing over about 35 Norwegian folkies with them! Not me though as I am a Scottish folkie and will be home next Friday so I'll be going anyway. It'll be wierd to see my Norwegian friends out of their normal environment..Should be fun sessions... |
