ANNOUNCEMENTS
Next week bring along the things for the University gig. For those who haven't got the program: Aurora Rutilat, Ae Fond Kiss, Depairte Depairte, Gaelic Set, Sang (Hairst the Licht o' the Mune), Amazing Graze, Island Spinning Song, Fhir a Bhata, Preab san Ol, Auld Lang Syne, Mary's Song, Mhairis Wedding.
P.S. My friends who were at the concert confirmed the overall impression everyone had: we did really well. People were impressed by the niveau of our music and how much we advanced and improved since last year. The words came over very clear, my friend said. They enjoyed both the variety and the quality of the music, and of course the wonderful acoustics.
