Well lots of news this week.  First, please join  Matt Diaz, Andrew Forbes, Amy Beshara and Max Carmichael for tunes tonight.  It’s strangely pleasant outside.
Next week, the 20th, we’ll be led by recent  graduate of the Piping Masters program at the Royal Scottish Conservatoire,  border piper Will Woodson, before he sets off for the frozen north to resettle in Portland with pipe maker and oor pal, Nate Banton.  We’ll miss them but we’ll see them.
Our Burns Spectacular  this year will be on the regular Monday 27th.  Haggis, poetry of the Bard of Ayrshire, drink promotions with Bellhaven and Laphroaig, featuring the Iona All Stars led by fine kiltie men, piper Andrew Forbes (GHB’s included) and champion fiddler, Calum Pasqua.

Happy New Year – session tonight Monday January 6th from 8.30pm

Iona color 1

Tunes tonight at Iona from 8.30pm, people – and may we offer these comforting words to any of you who may have overindulged over the last fortnight – an hour of fiddling burns 305 calories …. an hour of piping (with some marching to the bar) expends an impressive 320. (courtesy of some daft website I just looked up). That means if you play for 4 hours you can continue to have a festive time AND have plenty left to spend on drams and crisps.
