Then struck up the Clarsach and Lowland Pipes for a public rehearsal.<br />
We've added 'Sally Gardens' amoung others to the repertoire and Gallery owner Christine and Claire were there serving food and selling artwork, jewellery and craft items while we added atmosphere.fyon-ionhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12511908560452468714noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8963664520452767012.post-78749500204509409322011-03-31T05:04:00.000-07:002011-03-31T05:04:36.146-07:00Earth Hour Burn's SupperOn 26th March Fyon-ion took part in St. Christophers Chuch's Earth Hour Supper. The electricity was switched off for an hour and diners ate by candle light. This was part of a global initiative so we knew others were making a cumulative contribution to the power saving and reduction in carbon footprint.<br />
Iain played traditional Scottish tunes (some written by Robert Burns) the Lowland Pipes accompanied by daughter Fiona on Clarsach (scottish folk harp) which added to the Scottish theme along with the haggis, 'neeps'and tatties on the menu and the recitation of the 'Selkirk Grace' by Iain at the appropriate moment...fyon-ionhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12511908560452468714noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8963664520452767012.post-9553806460927142832010-09-21T12:43:00.000-07:002011-08-01T13:09:08.619-07:00Trier Germany - those two get everywhere!We took the flavour of Scotland to Trier in Germany, played the harp and lowland pipes, the Great Highland pipes and flung a Fling in for fun (actually this is the Scottish Lilt but it didn't illiterate as well!)<br />
