The Saltire in Kensington

[meinfs]

Ben Williams (seated), piper and musician, invited me to the Gathering of the Scots sidewalk event at the Antique Row in Kensington, Maryland this past Sunday. I met Ben at the Royal Mile Pub in Wheaton last Friday.

That's me holding The Saltire, posing with the Celtic band. I think I was motioning the fiddler to come join us in the photo. He was apologetic (you can see it in his face) that he wasn't wearing a kilt.






Antique Row.




Plenty of music and singing! It was a perfect weather day too!




Notice his sporran "chain" and the belt! -- it perfectly matches the tartan!



(I didn't catch his name or who he was.)

The lads from the audience, outfitted with Scottish hats!

I asked Ben if this is a monthly event and he said that's he's trying to make the event regular!

This is me in my Bear Tartan box-pleated kilt that I made. Blue shirt/dark blue hose with white knitted tied garters and The Saltire, of course.

Looks like everyone is having lots of fun there on the sidewalk music fest.
