It's been a busy musical month so far, having played gigs with three different bands so far (and a fourth coming soon). It makes for a complicated rehearsal schedule, trying to squeeze in an appropriate number of practices for each band in between running the bar and restaurant and dragging up the children.
Thanks to the folks on Luing for a lovely evening last week. It was a great pleasure to play acoustically, something we don't do very often.
The dance last night at Kilmartin was a bit of a wild one. Unfortunately everyone stays in the pub till it closes, so the marquee was very quiet until after 11, and the rapid consumption of 'babycham' doesn't improve the dancing skills. No offence Kilmartin, but i think we should organise some ceilidh classes!! Thankfully the wind dropped by the time we got back.... so we didn't get wet coming home on the wee boat.

This is a problem on loads of islands, either the pub needs to let people away up to the dance and lose out on a few quid or get a licence for the hall. Its the sort of thing that splits communities cos ceilidhs should be a places for everyone and the very young and very old often cant go to the pub.

hi there, im curious I take it you are a ceilidh band? What time do you usually finish? the reason im asking is because im cycling the western Isles starting on the 13th August starting off at Barra.However if there is gig round about the same time I arrive in the area I may pop in and enjoy the evening with everyone else.
So do you have any gigs around that date?
