Ridiculous to believe it's already two weeks since we returned from the greatest wee festival in the world. We huvnae stopped since we got back, playing with one line-up or another in Stenhousemuir, Inverness, Glasgow, Belfast, Bangor and Edinburgh. Finally got time to draw breath and thank Robert and all at the Mish for their excellent hospitality once more.

To the Raggaels, thanks for the gear, the craic and the expertise. Viking, you truly are a legend - how's yer back?; To Archie McAllister and the Cearnloch Ceilidh Band (is that right, Alec?) thanks for leaving us a couple of rolls in the morning! Don't worry about July, Archie, I'll sort something out - "Beetlejuice, yer up!"; To Shananifanny, what can I say? You guys light up my life and the festival wouldn't be the same without your ear-bleedy drum machine din; To Fergie, some box, boy, loved the sounds; To Iain Joseph & Marie, where the hell were you?; To Russel, sorry we never got a tune; and finally To Skerryvore, thanks for the interest, guys, and for putting up wi' pished nutters in yer digs. Hope to catch up wi you on the road before another year's out, maybe up at Hoots?

Robert, thanks a million. Hope to get across for a wee gig before next years festival. See you all there.
