Returned from a lovely visit to Gatehouse – the sun has been shining and I’ve been swimming in the sea for the first time this year.
Lighthouse, Mull of Galloway
Had a great time with the nyckelharpa at the Harp Festival session this evening. Did my bit for nyckelharpa exposure, lots of people interested and lots of photos and video taken of it Good to start a few tunes including Davidson the Luthier (Gavin Marwick), and the An Dro taught by Johannes Mayr at Halsway last year – nicely taken up by Tristan Le Govic and Adriano Sangrineto who are performing there this year. A lot of fun!
