First post

Let's see how this goes.

So last night we played the Thursday night session in the bar at Glenfinnan House Hotel! Glenfinnan sessions have to be my all time favourite as it's so close to home and I'm so familiar with the hotel itself (my Mum's worked there since I was born). We had the usual lot with us: Liam on the box, myself on guitar, Hannah on the fiddle and Matthew on the... cajon? We like to call it the Slappy Drum Box Thingy. Oh and Liam's brother joined in for a few sets.

This group's played a good few sessions there over the winter and the past two weeks in the Easter holidays and usually it's such a great atmosphere in the pub there, however last night it was particularly quiet for most of the night. BUT a few more folk arrived later on and of course just as we started packing away at half 11 an encore was requested! So we happily obliged and played another lively set of jigs for the very appreciative audience.

No more gigs lined up for Glenfinnan at the moment but we'll surely be asked to play a few sessions in the future! 

Next gig for me: Saturday night, Highland Hotel
