Nightclubbing
It’s been a successful weekend for both of our social enterprises, the Folk Club had a good evening with Ayrshire band Luckenbooth while the Astronomy Club’s Stargazing Live Event to tie in with the recent BBC show of the same name, was very well attended and the skies were crystal clear for most of the…

Suite sweet
Oops, not been here for a whiley, well, I had my appraisal to write up which consumed a lot of evening and weekend time. After 8 Mince had a very good gig at St Peter in Chains church in Inverkeithing; the audience was tremendously supportive from the beginning, and it was just one of those…

Alhambra Nights

Band were just superb, I would definitely go to see them again, brilliant fun. Following on from Poulet au Disastre we had rather more success with the Haddock of Spinachly Joy,…

Just back from Blair Atholl, yet another wonderful weekend with Yard of Ale, On the Wagon, After 8 Mince and the Lilting Tilters. Most of DBFC pitched up on Friday night, and enjoyed a grand meal followed by many hours of music, laughter and insults. On Saturday, after exchanging some wake up jokes at breakfast,…

Bend It
So, I’m back home from Pilates, having done more with my intercostal and abdominal muscles in 1 hour than in the previous 336, including band practice last night, and I am just looking ahead to what the weekend will bring. As ever, detail will be in retrospect, but it’s shaping up to be a busy…
