I was wondering if anyone else is going - I know ELma who's on the commitee, and also many of the artists, including Lau, Cara Dillon, New Rope String Band, Tim O'Brien and Kris Drever, and Bella Hardy - and also some of the local artists as I've been twice before (Jo Philby, Saltfishforty, Wrigley Sisters (of course, and their wonderful shop in Kirkwall)m and Hullion. But I wondered if any Mudcatters are venturing up north for the weekend? For the first time I'm flying - 2 flights each way! I must be mad! Do let me know please, and we can meet up! Ali x |

Sat outside the Ferry Inn and played in the sun, on Sunday afternoon. Good music, good company, good beer. |
