Jesus! That was a quick reply. Glad you were there French Disco - did you enjoy?

Too late for The Garcias today (who were great and pretty well attended anyway), but...bump

Given it's lunch-time gig with food being served hopefully it won't be real riot, but that's what their posters say. Shell Friday Live: The Wilders Friday 25th August The Lemon Tree FREE Doors open:noon Show starts:1pm Kansas City's unique hillbilly string band are one of the most entertaining acts on the North American circuit and perform songs, fiddle tunes, and classic country favourites from the 40s and 50s. www.wilderscountry.com

Blazin' Fiddles Friday 25th August 13.50 (9 concessions and Regulars) Doors open: 8.30pm Show starts: 9.30pm Deserving winners of the Best Live Act at the 2004 Trad Music Awards, in recent years no other band has quite captured the excitement, passion and sensitivity of Scottish music as Blazin' Fiddles. With the fiddlers in the band hailing from Mallaig (Allan Henderson) Shetland (Catriona Macdonald), Glenfinnan (Iain MacFarlane), Inverness (Bruce MacGregor) and Oban (Aidan O'Rourke), it's fair to say that Blazin' Fiddles embodies the spirit of today's Highland fiddle music. www.blazin-fiddles.co.uk
