Sorry folks, but various band members have sent in sick notes today, so tonight’s gig at The Snickleway Inn is cancelled. I think it’s the first time this has happened – see you in April!
New Tunes
We’ve been quiet for a while, but working away in the background on half a dozen new sets of tunes – some Scottish, some Irish, one Northumbrian. One or two traditional but mostly recent compositions by the new Celtic players. Come along to one of our gigs to hear them!
Great gig at Rise – great venue, lovely people!

Rise

Ceilidh!
We don’t play many Ceilidhs (what we English would call barn dances) but when we have to, we can play the tunes a bit slower and less complicated. And what a Ceilidh it was! Congratulations to Gracie for a great job as caller and thanks everyone for dancing like wild things!!

Black Swan





We’ve often played in the Wolfe Room, upstairs at the Black Swan but it was great to have the chance to play the whole evening on a club night. Many thanks to Bob Mitchell for these great photos.
Time for a new photo…
It’s several years since we did a photo session with the band. We have lots of gig photos, but here we all are, standing still for once.
Many thanks to our great friend Lesia Gordienko for the wonderful photography.
