Topic: Balloch Folk Festival

Well Folks,
it is that time of year in Scotland again for the folk festivals for the next 3 month.
And starting today for 3 days is the balloch folk festival, situated next to loch lomond ( im sure you all know the song)

So I am starting tonight by leaving in half hour to go to a curry karaeoke first in glasgow then back here to balloch for the folktivities. I should sober up Monday. lol
Sunday is the all day bender from 12:30 ( when the pubs open) to dunno, I have never been able to remember the time at night when it stops for some reason lol

jamming session in the pubs on sunday afternoon, great organised bands in the pubs too from about 4pm ( full steam ahead, great band, play every year in the tullie)

so if you are within travelling distance jump a train and come down.
You might recognise me, I will be the one in the gutter at night slurring my words, trying to sing.

Hmmm, then again that sounds like another few hundred folk there.

Ken

ye get some that are cut out for the job and others just get by from pretending
