Islay....
A friend of Tills, Amanda, plays the fiddle & invited us to come along to the Islay Jamboree..... Music, dancing, food........and a captive audience! Islay is a small town about half an hour away from Clandonald. We didn't know what to expect, but Vin was getting desperate to play some music with other people......there is only so much fun to be had in your own loungeroom!?! Well.....it was an older crowd.....and the tempo was a little slow (just above pacemaker !?).......then Vin took the stage......and blew their hearing aids off!!!! The dance floor emptied a little, but there were still plenty of people tapping their toes, some jigging & one fella filming Vin (using his Iphone!!). Vin was happy that he got to play & meet some other musicians. Amanda is fantastic on the violin & should be on the stage all the time with the band.....She seemed happy that we had come along......we were certainly the "young ones" in the crowd! |
