March Royal Mile Jam
Gads! We had a mighty session this last weekend. The pub was packed, which made it hard hear one another. But turnout was fantastic. We had a lot of new faces, with reams of fiddles, two violas, a cello, two guitars, a percussionist/whistler, a percussionist/smallpiper, and myself on fiddle, smallpipes, flute and Cittern. On top of it all, my Gaelic teacher, Nick Freer, showed up with some other Gaelic speakers, and gave us a few of the old songs. Thanks for everyone for coming out!
Here's what we played:
