Rocky: MidWinter Festival Review?

[RockyR]

We really didn't (and don't really ever) have a chance to check out the bands. We're pretty much tethered to our booth helping customers.

That being said, MOST of our customers this past weekend were Misfits! ('Misfits' are what Albannach Fans call themselves)

When the boys (Jackie didn't come) came to pick up their material, we had a discussion about the tartan and how quickly it went. We decided (with Jamsie's permission) to weave it in PV to be able to offer it to anyone wanting a Casual, Semi Trad or Mini kilt.

The response to the tartan was what I hoped. The band LOVED it and the fans seemed to really like it as well. There were a few negative comments made to the band by drunk patrons about the fact there's a lot of purple in it, but that's the way Jamsie wanted it, so that's the way I designed it.

We'll be adding the tartan to our Casual and Semi Trad galleries in the coming weeks. We ARE CURRENTLY taking pre-orders for the Albannach tartan kilts, with the understanding that it will probably be a 4 month wait (I haven't even gotten thread color samples to match the existing material).

The rest of the festival was pretty good... sorry you missed it!

excellent. you were busy at the booth and the band liked their kilts. nice one.
i'm guessing the albannach in pv is going to be a big seller for you. good luck with it...

WOW!! great news. I passed on the original material due to needing to conserve a bit, but still love it. Nice to know it will not be gone forever, and will have another crack at it!
