appearing. A pick of some ofthe vast array ofthe week‘s events includes Blowzabella. a firsttime in Scotland for a group that has breathed new life into English music. The line up is an instrumental delightand theyare equally at home in a concert or a dance with their English bagpipes. shawms. flutes and hurdy gurdies. Tuesday and Wednesday hasthem in each incarnation.
Thursday‘s lecture on Scotland and the Potato is a must as is the troupe from Galicia. the Celtic corner of Spain. Castro Floxo take a lot oftrouble researching costume. dance steps. style and music and have the Gaita. the sweetest sounding bagpipe of them all.
Friday‘s guitarconcert and Saturday‘s piping recital shouldn'tbe missed. On Saturday the Moscow Balalaika Orchestra with Singers is at the Usher Hall, and THE concert of the festival will be lateron Saturday night with some of Ireland‘s great musicians. Cran—a trio from the North mix song with fiery flute and pipes. there is a pair of brilliant fiddlers. and two of the very best singers in Dolores Keane and John Faulkner.
Eventhe Festival Organiseradmits that he can‘t staythe pace for the whole ten days. so what chance lessers mortals or Mortons?
