The Isle of Skye Music Festival 2007 - Day 1

Gilly and I set out for the Isle of Skye Music Festival with plenty of time to spare, making allowance for delays and the ponderous pace of "Harry" the caravanette, so we were delighted when we found ourselves in good time to catch the regular Thursday evening session at the Plockton Inn.











Nine or ten musicians gathered in the corner by the bar and treated us to a range of good music, entirely unannounced, but well received. Highlights included John Prine's "Unwed Father's" and Linda & Richard Thompson's "I Want to see the Bright Lights Tonight." Plockton is a great place for music as it houses the The National Centre of Excellence in Traditional Music at the High School. Shepherd Neame's Spitfire Ale is also well received at the Plockton Inn.
