Last night I was at the Swallow Theatre for a concert with a difference – the organisers suggested more talking and explanation than I usually include, so I performed with a slide show of images connected to the old Gaelic harp traditions, and included more and longer anecdotes about the old harpers and music. The venue was very pleasant and atmospheric, the organisers were very efficient and welcoming, and the audience was enthusiastic and engaged. And I managed to stop at Whithorn Priory and walk into the ruins of St Ninian’s church on the way through.
