Hilary Posted August 29, 2005 Share Posted August 29, 2005 Hi Samantha I've just been checking trains etc. I shall (rail works permitting) be on the 12:30 crossing on Friday, but will need to catch the 11am (ish) boat back on Sunday otherwise I get to spend 14 hours or so in Glasgow Central waiting for a connection to Lockerbie. Might be quicker to walk! see you in October. Hilary Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hilary Posted August 29, 2005 Share Posted August 29, 2005 I'm sure I can find the bar I've decided to drive anyway, so I can stay later on Sunday, so if people want transporting, via the distillery I'll have room for all three although it might be a bit of a squeeze in the back Depends on how many instruments everyone brings. By the way, where is the brewery - I am charged with a quest to bring back as much local alcohol as possible Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wrigglefingers Posted August 31, 2005 Share Posted August 31, 2005 Hey Arran 'Tinists I'm beginning to feel left out here! I'll be on the 20.30 sailing, so will I be running a single woman session in the bar? Jill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigsqueezergeezer Posted August 31, 2005 Share Posted August 31, 2005 (edited) You very well could be! I just booked the 1230 ferry too! I finally convince myself that it had got to be done. I just hope that I can pick up some tunes quickly as I don't go to sessions generally these days. I could be among the first in the queue as I will be setting off from the midlands on thursday evening. Any one needs a lift with stuff on the ferry?

Henk van Aalten Posted September 4, 2005 Author Share Posted September 4, 2005 There are a couple of tunes linked from this post for you to mug up on in advance, if you like ...Samantha <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Another contribution to the "Arran-feeling" is this recording of The Arran Boat. Maybe it sounds a bit sad, but my playing was inspired by leaving Arran (November 2004) after having an unforgettable time and by some drops of Arran Whisky .
