I'm afraid I've been a lurker up until now - and I've enjoyed getting a much needed
lesson on Scottish music.
I'm from Edinburgh originally but raised in Toronto, Canada. I got onto the list
because I'm a Gaelic learner here in Toronto and one list seems to lead to
another. I'm not musical but many of the other Gaelic learners over here are and I've
been learning quite a bit from them.
I keep many of the bits and pieces of info you all provide so on my next trip back to
Scotland I'll have a whole list of festivals and groups to look up and
to try and get to see.
I've passed along your listname to others in our learners group who may be able to
contribute to the discussions. David Greenburg and Kate Dunlay have come
to one of our all-day workshops and I've heard them perform at a Toronto Gaelic
Society meeting and they are not only wonderful musicians but also terrific
teachers.
Hope some of the other lurkers get brave enough to contribute.
