Musical Summer

Over the summer we had two American staff named Molly and Karlyn and a Canadian, Liz, who were excellent musicians. During their stay we created a band called...

'Celtic Confusion'

playing cletic, folk and bluegrass music. We had many jamming sessions and finally got our first gig at The Ben Lawers Hotel on the other side of the loch at their open mic night. It was beyond all expectations and we got paid in Potato wedges!! Their were many other folk musicians there playing accordian, double bass, Mandolin, banjo, harmonica, fiddle, celtic drum... we had a great evening.


A few weeks later we played at an Ceilidh hosted by Jim McNeish who attends the Killin church, he's quite well connected and Martin Smith from Delirious was on holiday with his family at Jim's so heard us play!

Finally we went to a small music festival in a town near by that was dedicated to folk/bluegrass music and went to the evening concert with bands from america. It rocked!
