My records show I haven't seeded this before, but apologies if I'm wrong.

Roses is a nice little venue and there was a pretty good crowd. There is a transverse aisle about 10 rows back and we were in the front row/centre of this 2nd section. A highlight of the show was a rare outing on the highland pipes (sample attached). At the time, I had the impression Julie was tired, it being a long tour. In places, the incomparable Duncan Chisholm (Wolfstone) carries the show with some gorgeous playing. Nevertheless, a very fine show. Enjoy, and Happy New Year.

If anyone has any recordings of Duncan Chisholm and Ivan Drever as a duo......
