Great pics...sure wish I could have made it.

Next time you get bumper venison, give me a call.

I have to make Grandfather next year. Those are some awesome pics, especialy of Albannach! What did you think of them? Did you get a chance to talk with the band? They are a great bunch!

Bummer about the start of the day, but it looks like you had a good time anyway.

Grandfather is on my list of needing to attend.

I talked to several of the Albannach members (this was the first time I'd seen them since last October, or, as Jamesie said, "right before the sh*t hit the fan"), and talked them into performing the old Matt McGinn song "Grigaloo." Had a hard time understanding Davey as we talked in the crowd during the concert Saturday night as the Kildares are loud. They will be back in NC this October for the Carolina Celtic Jam at VanHoy Farm in Union Grove- it's a great place to see them as it's not so crowded and they have time to socialize.

I also spent time talking to Ed Miller (who did a request, "Ferry Me Over"), members of MacTalla Mór, Jeff and Dave from Gael Warning, Jamie Laval, and Jeff from the Ric Blair Band.
