The Kilted Wench Goes Forth!

**Kinetikat** · 11th May 12, 01:43 AM

Didn't want to announce this much in advance in case of last-minute problems, but - it's on! It's happening!

Tomorrow night - Saturday 12th May - I'll be at the famous (and tiny) Royal Oak on Infirmary Street in Edinburgh, singing with my good friend, the Hairy Folksinger himself, Martin Boland. There will be folk. There will be jazz - very excited to bring the 'St Louis Blues'. There will, undoubtedly, be 'The House of the Rising Sun' and 'Summertime', because Martin always makes me sing those.
I will be wearing (most likely) my original tank, as I anticipate wearing a mini-kilt might be a bad move in a crowded bar.
So stoked! Haven't done a proper singing gig in years. Should be fun.
If any of you X-Markers can get to the pub, come and introduce yourselves!

Wish I lived a little closer! Good luck with your gig! Maybe you can have someone take a few pics for/of you.

Great! Hope all goes well. Sorry I can't be there for the show as I am on the other side of the pond.

I shall be there in spirit. Were I closer I might bring my banjo and try getting in on the House of the Rising Sun.

Best of luck with the gig and hopefully you will be able to post some pics here to share it with us.

Best of Luck with the gig, great to see postings from Hexham.

I am curious though, been scanning the pics on your site, where is "the field"? I can think of a number of places it resembles.

"The field" is a closely-guarded secret location 3 miles from Hexham in the Shire. Dotland to be precise(ish).
Are you still coming over in the Autumn?

Update: the gig went really well!
I actually sang on the Friday night too, and was kilted on that occasion, but not on the Saturday.
My friend and I didn't get to take any pictures, but I'll check with Martin to see if any of the regulars took any.
