Music

We both like music, especially traditional music, and are quite often at concerts. The Celtic Connections festival in Glasgow is a great treat each year (although it's about time they got their online booking system sorted - it has been dire the last couple of years), and there are often excellent concerts at the Queen's Hall in Edinburgh. May 2007 saw another appearance there of Fiddlers' Bid - see below.

John has been interested in harps for quite a long time, and has built both a nylon strung and a wire strung harp. He plays (sort of) mainly the fiddle, but is a terrible dabbler, and will have a go at other instruments, especially the whistle. He has still to get anywhere near competence on the bodhran or the flute!
