Avoch... pronounced "Och" isn't it? There used to be many more moothie bands in Scotland in bygone times. I have a photo of two of my uncles in such a band in Huntly, Aberdeenshire. Of course in those days you had to make your own entertainment. :-) Good to see you're still lurking, Jonathan. We don't hear enough about the goings-on in the Black Isle. I almost went to a mandolin workshop in Inverness a couple of weeks ago, but I was too shattered. I'm considering taking my one-day Intermediate Mandolin Workshop on the road. Aberdeen, Glasgow, etc. Do you think there would be any interest up your way? -- Nigel Gatherer, Crieff, Scotland [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.argonet.co.uk/users/gatherer/ Posted to Scots-L - The Traditional Scottish Music & Culture List - To subscribe/unsubscribe, point your browser to: http://www.tullochgorm.com/lists.html
