Albannach

Agreed. These folks rocked. I saw them before the performance wandering the tents and vendors. Not knowing who they were but thinking they looked cool, I took a pic. A vendor asked where they were from and one said Glasgow. I butted in, "hence the patter." They all laughed but the poor vendor just looked vexed as they broke into something not quite Lallans not quite English, LOL. Heard the performance later and I'm sold on them now... and proselytizing like mad. I've managed to sell several friends on them with th CD I bought.

Beaucoup de fun!

Ahh, that would be affectionately referred to as 'weegie.

Albanach will be in Gatlinburg this weekend, and then this October they will return to the Tennessee Highland Games (HOTSC).

Just listened to them for the first time. They have a great sound reminds me of Mackeel back in the day.

Thanks for the info.

They're at Glasgow, KY, at the first of the month, as well.

Heathbar, which day? I have not checked the schedule, but would love to see them!

Saturday 11:25 - 12:00 and 3:30-4:10
Sunday 12:45-1:25 and 3:50-4:20

Of course this is a tenative schedule. I'm hoping to get there in time to see the first show. Perhaps we can try to meet up there.

I'll be there. I expect to be there in time for the 11:25 show, and honestly hope to be there much before that to take pictures of the pro athletes during the heavy games, as well as the dogs during the collie demos, the dancers and the bands. I have this habit of taking a couple of gigs of pictures at events, so you'll more likely see my camera to my face as not.
