Just back from a great afternoon of music at St Mark’s. Our own Bridget, husband Lawrence, friend Wendy Weatherby and others entertained us for hours with music to singalong to or tap our feet. The worrying thing is that I knew far too many of the old songs. Does that mean I am actually old [...]

What a great day! Three hours of Scottish, Celtic, Big Band, Ceilidh and Jazz music to suit all tastes. The community turned out in droves and we even ran out of seats at one point and had to direct some upstairs to the balcony. I think I even saw a Raspberry Rabbit and fiancee too.

If you have nothing to do this afternoon, you could pop along to our Music Festival from 2-5pm. All sorts of Scottish, folk and jazz music to tap yer feet to. Oh, and stalls too. Many stalls.
