Hi There, I've had a word with Chris Faulkes,owner of the Smiddy Haugh Hotel in Aberuthven, who has agreed to starting a session night once/twice a month. At the moment we've agreed on a Sunday evening round about 7-8pm. He is putting up a notice in the pub and with posting on this forum we should get a few turning up. Should we try a slow session first or let it find it's own way? Lots of Nigel tunes to keep us going and singers also welcome. No cowering in the back room though, it's up front in the public bar, where both his regulars can hear us. Proposed starting date is 22 March

Thanks for organising the session Tearlach - not a bad start. All we need to do is is learn Atholl Highlanders, The Clumsy Lover and the Laird of Drumblair by next time Tongue

Seriously though, we should have a look at some "standard" session tunes for the future and (apart from the above Angel

) a good start might be the High Road to Linton and Hills of Glenorchy.

Chris,the owner of the Smiddy Haugh, was delighted with the music. Next session 5th April. Rodger, we are a versitile group,For next time The twisted Bridge/ Angeline the Baker. My mother in law said we need some tunes to give it oomph, such as some Frank Sinatra!! C.K
