I managed to survive the marauding hoardes of leaflet distributers on the High Street, but Sandy Bell's house gin took a much greater toll!
In all my years visiting Embra, this is my first time during the festival, and I can understand why some of my friends vacate the city for most of August. There's certainly plenty going on, but you need more then the second sight to sort the wheat from the chaff.
Our gigs went pretty well, and we got a good review in Saturday's Herald. It was quite a buzz to play in a 'tent' built in the 1920's, and to follow in the footsteps of other West Highland folk singers like Marlene MacDietrich!
My highlight of the festival? Luckily it's there all year round... Ann Purna Vegetarian Indian Restaurant. Excellent food, good prices, nae fag smoke and very friendly service.
