bandgria:

This May, we will be dusting off our football boots ahead of the Orkney Folk Festival’s ‘Orkney vs the Rest of the World’ football match in Stromness. Training for this has already begun and although it may divide us as a band (Louise will of course be playing for Orkney) we believe a bit of competition isn’t a bad thing, and will try not to be sore losers when we hand over the cup to Orkney…

Oh, and we’ll be playing a few gigs there too!

Missing home a bit today. I had forgotten about these images I took at the Ba’ on Boxing Day.

(The Ba’ is a traditional Orcadian game, played usually on Christmas day and New Years day in Kirkwall. For more information about the Ba’ click here.)
